1680x1050 text console resolution

In case anybody cares :-),

I have set this line in the /boot/grub/menu.lst:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/[MY DISK UID] ro vga=0x369

and now I have console with 1680x1050 resolution (that is native to my monitor)

I discovered this accidentally cause I had a wrong number for the vga and my system
complained about this error and suggested me the possible values :-)

So, I hope someone will find this usefull :-)

OK, I have found this http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=481411 topic
about the same issue, so this is not as hot as I thought.

But, nevertheless, better twice than never ;-)
