If you are using pure textmode, you can use the svgatextmode package.
This will install the SVGATextMode command, and the /etc/TextMode config
file. I think in needs some tweaking to get it running though, when I
tried it, it was referencing a font file which didn't exist on my
system. You could also setup a framebuffer console, They often are a bit
slower, but you should have a wider selection of fonts and resolutions.
