Running 2.0.x?  Next time you boot...


Lilo Boot: linux vga=ask

It will prompt you to select a video mode.  Hit return and pick from
the list.  Once you've gotten one that you like, you can add your
perfered video mode setting to lilo.conf and run lilo to put it into
your bootblock.

Running 2.[12].x?  Same as 2.0 but you need to configure vga mode
setting into your kernel - it's become optional.
