If you've got VESA Framebuffer stuff turned on (VGA Text Console in the
kernel, I believe)... you pass a `vga=` parameter on your bootloader's
kernel boot line.

For example, my Grub.conf has this:
kernel (hd0,0)/linux-2.4.21 root=/dev/hda3 vga=791

The vga=791 is telling Linux to use VESA mode 791, which I believe is
1024x764x16M.  Search Google for Linux VESA modes, and you'll find a table
resolutions/codes.
