Yes, i am talking about the use of that parameters, but there are some problems with Ubuntu and its use:

-On Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10 and 8.04, a special font is used by default for tty consoles, this is incompatible with the use of these parameters, and cause tty consoles cannot be shown property if you use vesa modes.

-On Ubuntu 8.10, the previous problem is not present for now, because it is not using that special fonts for the tty consoles, so vesa modes works fine in this version for tty consoles. But there is a problem, usplash is not well displayed when using vesa modes.

I have seen other Linux distributions as like as Suse, in which tty terminals, have always a highter resolution, and it is more confortable to work with tty terminals with it.
I ask for Ubuntu to try to do the same, using vesa modes, or another way.
