I think you want to enable "Screen expansion" in the BIOS.
If you have, say a 1024x768 LCD, but the actual signal is only for
640x480 (the default, iirc, for the BIOS and VTs), then the
screen can either display 640x480 in the middle (with a black border),
or it can expand it to the full size (but it will be a bit blurry.)
Alternatively, you want something like "vga=791" in your kernel
parameters. (see kernel-parameters in /usr/src/linux for details)
HTH.
