</I>This is usually set by the &quot;vga=&quot; keyword in your kernel parms. Open 
/boot/grub/menu.lst in an editor as root (or temporarily change it to 
world-writable to make the change), and look for the &quot;kernel&quot; line 
corresponding to your booted system.   Note the vga= value if there is 
one, and either change it to or add &quot;vga=788&quot; to the end of the line 
(don't include the quotes).  Save it, restore the permissions if needed, 
and reboot, and you should see a difference. You may also be able to do 
this in a more user-friendly way from the MCC &quot;Boot&quot; dialog.

You can probably google around to find the complete list of valid vga 
values.
