Linux Note: Change console resolution

Original post

Just change the grub setting(the file "/boot/grub/menu.lst", or press "e" in grub menu), add "vga=xxx" to the end of the "kernel" line, which xxx is a number to define the resolution as the following table:

depth640*480800*6001024*7681280*1024
8-bit769771773775
15-bit784787790793
16-bit785788791794
24-bit786789792795

I've picked 792 for 24-bit 1024*768, and see the wonderful cute console :) But maybe 24-bit is a waste for console, maybe I should pick 773 or 790.
