The default suse kernel comes with the frame buffer compiled in. So if you pass 'vga=794' to lilo, you will get 1280x1024 resoultion for your text console. Other modes are available, more information in:

Dear Rafael,
I did just that (changed vga=normal to vga=794 and ran lilo) and afterwards I cannot boot anymore. Error messages: "unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c4270600 k" "oops 0002"
what is this? how can i fix this?
Something asked for more memory that was available, or something like that. Sorry about that. It's possible your video adapter does not support that video mode. It is always possible to try all new boot options at the lilo prompt before committing them to your lilo.conf. For example: LILO: linux vga=794 To have fixed your problem you could have used: LILO: linux vga=normal That would have overridden what you put in lilo.conf; after booting, change your config and run lilo again. Note that if you have a laptop (and it seems that you do), you cannot have higher resolution than what you get with X. Please read the docs to lear more, don't just make permanent changes without testing them first. -- Rafael
