I don't know if this still works but the last time i needed it it did: at
bootime in grub select type "e" and then edit the boot line. Append vga=XX
where XX is one of the following values
       | 640x480 | 800x600 | 1024x768 | 1280x1024 | 1600x1200 |
---------------------------------------------------------------
256    | 769     | 771     | 773      | 775       | 796       |
---------------------------------------------------------------
32'768 | 784     | 787     | 790      | 793       | 797       |
---------------------------------------------------------------
65'536 | 785     | 788     | 791      | 794       | 798       |
---------------------------------------------------------------
16,8M  | 786     | 789     | 792      | 795       | 799       |
---------------------------------------------------------------
Last time i played with these values i was on SUSE with a 2.4.x kernel so i
really dont know if this will do the job.
