If you take a look in /boot/grub/menu.lst (assuming that you use grub) 
there's a table included that tells you various framebuffer settings, 
and how to modify your menu.lst file to boot using that framebuffer:

#  FRAMEBUFFER RESOLUTION SETTINGS
#     +-------------------------------------------------+
#          | 640x480    800x600    1024x768   1280x1024
#      ----+--------------------------------------------
#      256 | 0x301=769  0x303=771  0x305=773   0x307=775
#      32K | 0x310=784  0x313=787  0x316=790   0x319=793
#      64K | 0x311=785  0x314=788  0x317=791   0x31A=794
#      16M | 0x312=786  0x315=789  0x318=792   0x31B=795
#     +-------------------------------------------------+

# TIP: If you want a 1024x768 framebuffer, add "vga=773" to your kernel 
line.


That said, it appears that 1440 is not listed here.  I'm not sure if 
that means it actually is an option and was just omitted here for 
brevity's sake, or if it's just not an option at all.  I imagine you can 
google around and find out the answer to this.

Personally, I'd think that 1280x1024 (i.e., vga=775) would be sufficient 
for most people.  But that's just my $0.02.

HTH,
