I've had and solved your same problem using a lower number of colors: I've
tested that removing the vga=xxx from lilo.conf it works great, and than I've
tested to use more colours. I've tested to use a 1024x768 resolution with 256
colours (vga=773). 
If you try to use 32k or 64k colours you have problems, also with a 640x480
resolution.
If you're using grub modify menu.lst file for the vga=xxx option.
So, the vga=xxx working good are the ones using just 256
colours or the not usage of vga=xxx, all others create problems.
