You have to set a vga=xxx string in lilo.conf.

Lets' asuume you have a lilo.conf like this:


boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
default="linux"
....

image=/boot/vmlinuz
        label="linux"
        root=/dev/hda1
        initrd=/boot/initrd.img
        append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5"
        read-only
        vga=7xx 
            ^^^
       this is your vga mode


You have to set it to vga=791 in order to have a 1024x768 color console. You 
can set this vga=791 string per kernel image, or for all kernel images - then 
include this line at the top of lilo.conf:

boot=/dev/hda
vga=791
...


Then just say "lilo" as root and reboot to see your new beautiful console :-P

Read the "Framebuffer-HOWTO" if you want another (non-1024x768 or with 
16/256/etc colors) vga mode.


Good luck!
