Default Changing the screen resolution

Hi Slackers,
I have changed /etc/lilo.conf to vga=normal but I still have a high
resolution (1024x768) when Slackware (10) starts up. I just like to
have a standard VGA resolution (640x480).

Thanks!

jk

ps.
1024x768 resolution is fixed during installation

Try running "/sbin/lilo" after updating /etc/lilo.conf
