Did you properly componentize the video driver? If so, go to the driver node in your project loaded in TD and check out its settings
page. There should be resolution related options.

Also, make sure the driver installs correctly on your image. If it is not, check out setupapi.log for the driver install errors.

It didnt include the full log obviously. This seems to be the relevant
section. If I am reading this correctly
the driver did install correctly. Did it?

Does the video driver appear in Device Manager?
Per KM's question - do you see a settings page with the driver component in
Target Designer?
