I installed Ubuntu Server 10.04 yesterday but my console resolution is 132x60 I think so the letters are pretty little and unreadable. How to change back my console resolution to "normal" 80x25?

Thank you but that thread is two or more years old and as I look into /boot/grub and grub.lst I think there was a big change in this area in 10.04. Found no vga parameter in kernel line but found video.lst in /boot/grub which contains only line "vbe". And it seems that /boot/grub/grub.lst is generated from files in /etc/grub.d.

I uncomment this as remark said:
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
GRUB_TERMINAL=console

and still have a graphical(?) terminal. I added vga=normal and still have 132x60 console.
