you have to edit lilo.conf (in /etc). Have to add ask
where the resolution of the Screen is set. Then save this file and
run lilo
The nex time you boot you will see a list of possible textresolutions
if you press the Returnbutton. If you prefer on of the high modes,
you can change "ask" with "0" (0= 80x50) or what you like.
