Christopher, Astlinux may not support alternative screen resolutions. It's really not designed to be a desktop device. Many people use serial cables or ssh into the console for control.
'text mode selection' support is in fact NOT included. Adding vga=foo will have no affect because of that. If you want to support that, you'd have to compile a custom kernel. Hope that explains it, but unfortunately won't fix it for you.
