For more options put vga=ask on the kernel command line to see what resolutions available in hexadecimal. For example 0x31B equals 795 in decimal. Hope that helps.

To use vesa you need to add a vga=3D795 on the kernel command line for 1280= x 1024 screen resolution. For more options put vga=3Dask on the kernel com= mand line to see what resolutions available in hexadecimal. For example 0x3= 1B equals 795 in decimal.
Hope that helps.
