The 3 digit numbers correspond to the resolution and color depth of
the framebuffer console. You can look up the options in the
Documentation subdirectory of the kernel source, or you can use
vga=ask to get a boot-time list of what the options are. Once you have
found what works best for your screen, you can replace the 'ask' with
the right number.
