Installation with other resolution.

Hi,

I would like install Arch on my desktop computer connected to TV (Intel Pentium 4, Ati Radeon X850 Pro). I use it to listen to music, watch films, us a server, etc.. My problem is that when I put CD, it boots correctly, but when I choose the first option (Boot Arch), it's using some resolution that doesn't work on my TV (Toshiba 32). Resolutions that work with my TV are: 1024×768 and 1388x786. How can I start the installation in one of these resolutions? I have tried to put something like vga=792 or resolution=1024x768, but it doesn't work or I'm doing it wrong.

I have arleady have Ubuntu 10.04 installed for two years, but I want to replace it because Arch is very stable and I can update it easily by ssh. Can anyone give me an advice?

Use existing Ubuntu to install Arch.
