For linux or vesamenu.c32? vesamenu.c32 has a default and can be
adjusted with 'MENU RESOLUTION height width' (see doc/menu.txt).
For linux, I see you're passing 'vga=773', which will attempt VESA
mode 0x105 (261 + 512), 1024x768 at 8bit color. Pay attention to the
output the kernel gives you just after decompression as it may tell
you the mode is unsupported. I have 3 machines (all over 7 years old)
that don't work well with the linux VESA driver but work well with the
Windows XP driver.
