How to change resolution in linux on flash drive without logging in?

I made a flash drive bootable with a Live version of Linux, rebooted the computer, started Linux, selected an item in the menu and after all the launch lines a black screen for a couple of seconds, and then a sign with an inappropriate resolution was floating, you need to change the resolution to a non-standard one (1440x900 60Hz) without going into the system itself

When the Grub boot menu is displayed, press Tab (provided that the menu item you need is selected), the editor will open, add kernel parameters (for example, at the very end after the words quite splash): video=1440x900
You can also try nomodeset.

The latest kernels have moved the video mode setting to the kernel. Thus, all programming of the hardware frequencies and registers on the video card happens in the kernel and not in the X driver when the X server starts up. It allows you to have beautiful and pop-up (boot) screens and flickering high resolution free transitions from splash screen to login screen. Unfortunately, on some cards this doesn't work properly and you end up with a black screen as a result. Adding the nomodeset option tells the kernel not to load video drivers and instead use BIOS modes until X is loaded.
