If you're using the X version (I suppose there was SvgaLib version too, 
but I don't know about it), then you probably should have the resolution 
you've set in prboom set also in your /etc/X11/XF86Config file, in the 
subsection "Display" of section "Screen" (that's in X 4.0.2 at least):

-- cut --

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 1"
    Device      "Asus V3400"
    Monitor     "My Monitor"
    DefaultDepth 16

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes       "800x600" "640x480" "640x400"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
        Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes       "800x600" "640x480" "512x384" "400x300" "320x240" 
"320x200"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "800x600" "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
EndSection

works for me, in OpenGL mode too (I've got a Riva TNT card).

Hope this helps.
