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?
you tried to set it to 1280x1024, 65536 colors. Does your card support this mode memorywise? (It should, 4MB must be sufficient for this. But I've not seen modes that should be there when I set up an S3 card on NT4 yesterday... check it out)
to be able to boot again, try
linux vga=normal
at the boot prompt. Otherwise, there is the rescue system and vi. Or try to boot from CD and boot the installed system afterwards. might also help.

well juergen, i already changed it back to "vga=normal" and can reboot again ever since. but what made me wonder is if my onboard chip (which i do not know) on my toshiba tecra 8000 accepts this data. now, how can i find out which mode to select? -- *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤Oliver@home*º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤
