How do I get the centos 6 console screen out of high-res mode?

I tried a couple things of adding to the grub.conf file vga=ask and vga=769. Neither had any effect. I did not get prompted to ask for what mode or anything....

Whats the correct way to have centos 6 drop into normal old vga text mode and not high res small character hard to read mode.

Do either of these work?

nomodeset

Or if using the nouveau driver: nouveau.modeset=0
