Your X server uses the VESA driver. This list is about the intel
driver. As 1024x600 is not a resolution defined by VESA, it won't be
used by the VESA driver. If you switch to the intel driver, it should
work (and also give reasonable and nice features like video and 3D
accelleration).

In the logfile, the intel driver is loaded but not used. I don't know
why. Maybe because it is loaded too late. You might try to remove the
VESA driver and the fbdev driver.
