Author VGA boot options in grub

I've seen various reference to "VGA=xxx" or something of the like in
grub.conf.
I have a 17" monitor that I like to have an 80x50 when debian boots-up.
How can I do this, or can someone point me to where I can find this info.

Tried google, not much luck.

Try vga=ask.
