Make sure the VGA console is compiled in (omitting it is possible when using framebuffer)
The VGA= parameter in lilo.conf selects mode. These modes are explained in the framebuffer howto. Some gives framebuffers of various resolutions, some give textmode. VGA=290 gives me a 100x30 textmode for example. (That particular setting may or may not work for you.) You may also try VGA=ASK , you will then get a prompt at boot-time, which is fine for experimentation. When you find a mode you like, substitute that number for "ASK".
