from my menu.lst:

kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2618rc4mm2 root=/dev/md2 video=nvidiafb:[EMAIL

There's no need to search for modes - just define what resolution you

By the way, even if you have a very large screen, a line length of about
72 characters is recommended, instead of your very long lines.
