I think it depends on your specific framebuffer driver.  I get the
following information from the vesafb documentation.

    | 640x480  800x600  1024x768 1280x1024
----+-------------------------------------
256 |  0x301    0x303    0x305    0x307   
32k |  0x310    0x313    0x316    0x319   
64k |  0x311    0x314    0x317    0x31A   
16M |  0x312    0x315    0x318    0x31B   

use "vga=<mode>" where <mode> is one of the hex values in the above
table.  This is a kernel parameter; it should be added to the "append="
line of your lilo.conf or on the kernel command line of your
/boot/grub/menu.lst

For example, my kopt line in /boot/grub/menu.lst is

# kopt=root=/dev/hda4 ro vga=0x317 video=vesa:mtrr,ywrap

good times,
Vineet
