Hi

choose the desired resolution from the table and then add s.th. like:

vga=788

to your kernel options in grub.

e.g. change
kernel		/vmlinuz root=/dev/hde6 ro quiet splash

to
kernel		/vmlinuz root=/dev/hde6 ro quiet splash vga=788
                                                          ^^^

bye Thilo
