You don't have a Mode line in any of your Subsections until you get to the "Depth 16" subsection. There you have "Modes "1280x1024"" as the only resolution. That's what you will start with if it works. I you want to start with a different resolution change the mode line to read: Modes "800x600" "1280x1024" This will start in 800x600 mode if it works.
