Actually, before I checked my mail today (and this thread) I had been playing 
around with this. It does seem to follow what you are saying. I tried 

788
791

788 works, but will use bootsplash if present, 791 gives 1024x768 (lots of 
text onscreen!). So I think you guys are right, in that bootsplash supports 
only a few resolutions, any other setting bypasses it.

Thanks for all the help/insight... :-)
