grub re-init?

Being a lilo man myself, I'm currently stuck with a grub problem:

How can I get SuSE 9.x to re-detect the values grub should use and write
them to the init files and boot block? Using YaST is no help -- that will
re-write the *current* values, but not re-detect sensible values like the
installation process does.

The reason I ask is because this has now become a problem on two systems,
where the video card was changed, and the video mode that grub was set to
use doesn't exist. On one of the systems, this prevents the graphical boot
menu from loading, and on the other, while the graphical boot menu loads, it
then, when bootins SuSE, complains it can't find the video mode, and I have
to manually select a mode.

Regards,
