I had the same results. It didn't matter what kernel args I used, the
console always came up 640x480 8 bit, and when you try a startx (with a
variety of resolutions and depths up to and including 1280x1024) you get
a wierd color gradation and you have to adjust the monitor to get it to
fit on the screen.
