There is a list of vga modes at
http://www.antlinux.com/staticwiki/VgaModes.html
You should change (or better copy, rename and test) the grub stanza that
boots SuSE so that the "vga=0xnnn" is more appropriate to your display.
You might also want to change "splash=silent" to "splash=native" (which
gets rid of the bootsplash so you can see the boot process).
If you want to get the bootsplash back at your resolution I *think* you
have to reinstall grub so that the appropriately sized image is in initrd.
