----------------------------------------------------------------- VGA settings ----------------------------------------------------------------- 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 256 colors 768 771 773 775 32K colors 784 787 790 793 64K colors 785 788 791 794 16M colors 786 789 792 795 -----------------------------------------------------------------

For 1024x768 at 16bit (64K colors or "thousands of colors") you could pass an argument to the kernel like:

vga=791

These values could be used in base16 also (hexadecimal) like:

vga=0x317

To pass arguments to the kernel, you would need to edit your boot-loader:

1. Grub /boot/grub/menu.lst hint, in debian, look for "#kopt" and append vga=0x317 to that line. Then run update-grub. Other distros edit the kernel root= line appropriately 2. Lilo /etc/lilo.conf hint, look for the default image= and edit append= by appending vga=0x317 to it 3. Quik /etc/quik.conf on PPC machines. Append vga=0x317 to the kernel argument line
