Hi,
You can try do this: add vga=ask in the global section of lilo.conf and
then after rebooting you will get a prompt like this: Press <RETURN> to see
available modes or <SPACE> to continue". when you hit RETURN it brings up a
list of
available resolutions.
also, If your kernel crashes with the vga=788 and vga=ask you can try
framebuffer (read: See <kernel source>/Documentation/fb/*.txt) Framebuffer
is a kernel thing that *may* allow you to run the resolution you want.
Have you tried svgatextmode package? This worked for me the last time I
have tried it.
hope this helped.
