I want the resolution of my console to match my screen resolution(1440x900). 1024x768 works fine but for some reason when I put 1440x900 when I switch to ttyX the command prompt is almost right off the bottom of the screen! The Ubuntu splash screen goes off the edge of the screen during boot as well.

Here is my /etc/default/grub

  4 GRUB_DEFAULT=0
  5 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
  6 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
  7 GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
  8 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
  9 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
 10 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
 11 GRUB_GFXMODE=1440x900
 12 GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

How do I get my CLI resolution to be 1440x900?
