Bootup resolution or something else?

When Linux boots, The text is really small and about 1 centimetre off the screen. Is there a way to fix this, could it be in lilo resolution or something? Thanks.

Hi, M$ISBS.

Try putting "vga=normal" in the global section of /etc/lilo.conf and then run "lilo" as root.

Thanks for the reply but I installed the Nvidia drivers just after asking this question and to my surprise, that ended up fixing the problem.
I didnt know that would have anything to do with it I just wanted to upgrade to the better drivers.
