Either use 'svgatextmode' or enable frame-buffers in your kernel and
specify the correct framebuffer mode in your lilo or grub commandline.
SVGAtextmode works on most video chips... framebuffer has some more
limitations in supported chips, but can work better for those supported.
Do a google for either of these for some documentation.
