Hmm, it should not to that. bochsdrmfb explicitly orders 1024x768 to
the top of the list to make it the default, while keeping the other
resolutions available so you can easily switch via xrandr if you want.
Note that it also might be some desktop component switching via xrandr,
not the xorg modesetting driver. Xorg logfile will probably tell.
cheers,
Gerd
