Mine looks like video=vesafb:[EMAIL PROTECTED], and so on. I'd think
that vga=794:1280x1024 or something might work. However, I wouldn't
know for sure. I'm interested to learn what is the correct solution
though - It'll be neat to see more of how grub behaves.
If you compiled your kernel with framebuffer support, either using
vesafb or vesa-tng, you'll have to tell the bootloader to instruct the
kernel on dealing with your display. Check:

for a complete guide.
