Grub VGA codes?

Hey all, I've been looking all over the place, but I cannot find a VGA code for a 1440x900 resolutions.  I've just gotten Gensplash working, but only at 1024x768.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

As far as i can judge it, this resolution is not a VESA supported one. Check here:

I'm pretty sure any non-standard resolution requires vesafb-tng or a hardware-specific framebuffer (radeonfb, matroxfb, nvidiafb, etc).

That's correct.  1440x900 is non-standard (well, non VESA)
