The option to allow different text modes also has to be available in your kernel, either compiled in or as a module. Although, someone will have to check me on that last one because I never use kernels out of the box and consequently have never used a module in my life except for an old isapnp card (don't ask). Do a modconf to check if something obvious is there to turn on (maybe in misc? Like I said I don't know) or recompile your kernel and the option should be in "character devices" if you do "make menuconfig" Then change lilo.conf, rerun lilo, and reboot. Might want to try vga=ask first, since it fails softly if it can't select the mode you ask it for. :/
