Video Resolution

My plasma monitor doesn't support the 1280x720 on its VGA input, so I had to set it to 1024x768 (video mode 1).
The problem with this is that when I'm switching to Linux, the shell is not able to display 80 characters.
Is there a way to overcome this (ie. narrower fonts or changing the DPI somehow)?

Ok, I know it is a Linux thing, but I'm not really famailiar either with Linux nor the current distribution.

calling fbset, it says that
mode "512x384-0"
Seems it is the half of the resolution I set previously (1024x768), but don't know why

Changing the "fb_size" from "Automatic" to "Full size" in the "INI Settings" solved the problem
