I loaded grub as myboot loader, and set the framebuffer as high as it would go. Maybe that wasnt such a good idea as now when I select what I want to boot it just shoots some funky lines across the screen and locks up. I tried hitting a at the boot loader screen, and changing the kernel arguments, but when I change the vga= line to 769 it just goes to a black screen an stops, after it flashes something really quick that I cant read.

Booting command-list

Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type )x83
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3 vga=769
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x1236e7]

ok I just removed vga and it boots, why can I not boot in anything higher than 640x480?
