Extract from /usr/share/doc/Aurora-7.3/README:
Available vide-mode numbers are listed in the file
/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/Framebuffer-HOWTO.html, for VESA cards

You will have to do a little conversion from hex to decimal. e.g. in my case
0x31A becomes 794, and the grub line (similar for lilo, just append the
vga=794):
title linux
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0-9mdk root=/dev/hda1 vga=794
