you need to change the framebuffer mode, the bit that says "vga=788" or similar in your lilo.conf or grub,conf file depending on your bootloader. check the framebuffer howto at tldp.org for all the correct mode numbers.

you can use vga=how so that it shows you available modes. I suggest usign vga=791, it's very nice mode (no warranty that it is a supported mode at your machine). This mode doesn't list in my RH9.0 too but it works better that listed modes.
