  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.

Thanks,

Jerry
