Here are the vga codes:

 Colours     640x480    800x600     1024x768    1280x1024   1600x1200
 256         769        771         773         775         796
 32,768      784        787         790         793         797
 65,536      785        788         791         794         798
 16.8 M      786        789         792         795         799

I was using FBDev for my ATI Rage AGP card at 800x600 and 16-bit colour
for
several months on RH 6.0 and then RH 6.1 until I found an X-server for
ATI Rage
cards at SuSe.com. FBDev worked pefectly without any kernel recompiling.
You
can even add vga=<code> to your lilo.conf and then run lilo -v.
