The argument that is passed to the kernel to set the frame buffer for consoles may be set to many different VESA modes. Not all of them work on all kernels or chipsets. Sometimes this even causes kernel panics. You can always remove the vga=... bit of the kernel string if you want. If you want to set it to a particular mode, use one of the following values:
| Bits | 640x480 | 800x600 | 1024x768 | 1280x1024 | 1600x1200 | |
| 8 | 769 | 771 | 773 | 775 | 796 | |
| 16 | 785 | 788 | 791 | 794 | 798 | |
| 32 | 786 | 789 | 792 | 795 | 799 | |
