These are the modelines. Delete the ones you either don't want or your
monitor doesn't support.

So, this is telling it to use "My Video Card" (the previous line is
commented out.

Here's why you are running in 32 bit colour. Change this to 16

But only with mode 1280 x 1024. you need to add some more to this. Eg.

       Modes       "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

will give you access to those additional resolutions. Again, make sure
your monitor supported the refresh rates in your modelines.
