Alternatively (this works for me with Lucid, Nvidia with grub2) you can
edit your grub (sudo gedit /etc/default/grub) file and add the
following:

GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x800x32

then run:
sudo update-grub

The "keep" borks the terminals for gfxpayload but the
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX works well if you specify the resolution. Note
this will not work with non-GRUB2 bootloaders (i.e., GRUB) so you may
have to update to GRUB2 if you are running the older grub.
