Youhave to add a vga=your value in /boot/grub/menu.lst This is what I have and what works with a Samsung syncmaster 172v:
vga=normal is the bottom line works with (almost) everything way.. It's what I use for my older servers, and anything hooked up to old and clunky monitors (like an old cranky 15inch that can only do 640x480 on every other sunday ;) ) So if the below does notwork for you, just use vga=normal
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=792 selinux=0 resume=/dev/hda1 splash=silent showopts
# vga=xxx sets the framebuffer console to a specific resolution. # Here is a table you can use so it can help you decide # what resolution you want to use: # colour depth | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 # 256 (8bit) | 769 771 773 775 # 32000 (15bit) | 784 787 790 793 # 65000 (16bit) | 785 788 791 794 # 16.7 Mill.
