EBCAK!
oops, teach me to try and post with a hangover.  virtual terminal != 
xterm.

you can compile up a kernel, editing the top level Makefile to preset a
a certain video mode.  search for the SVGA_MODE define.

or in your lilo.conf entry put:
	vga=ask

that'll prompt you for which mode to use, i think you can just take the
number you enter and put that into the lilo.conf to make it always use
that mode:
 	vga=1

must wake up.
