I assume, you are using text mode for work
Check out "vga=ask" kernel option while booting.
This worked. At boot-up I am asked to hit <RETURN> then I have to
'scan' for additional screen modes, which gives me a screen mode list
Mode: cols/rows
...
b 0123 132x60
I selected 'b', it gave me a good resolution.
The problem is doing all this everytime I boot, I had previously tried
'vga=799' and other codes, but they don't work.
Can this process be automated, I wonder what the code '0123' means here.

Is there a issue running X ?
I am running a bare kernel 2.6.9-22, and don't want to use X.
