With the obvious caveat that "MENU RESOLUTION" should only apply to
vesamenu.c32.  This will also depend on your graphics card presenting
a suitable mode.  Some graphics cards (including but not limited to
the Intel 815 onboard controller) do not present many if any suitable
graphics modes via VESA even though an OS-specific driver offers
enhanced capabilities.  For example, vesamenu.c32 can use the i815 at
up to 800x600 but the Microsoft Windows XP driver will handle
1280x1024.

doc/menu.txt: "If the selected resolution is unavailable, the text
mode menu is displayed instead."

Please read doc/menu.txt for more information (including the usage and
image format for "MENU BACKGROUND").

There is also gfxboot (provided by com32/gfxboot/gfxboot.c32) but that
requires much more setup (having to create a special display load
file).  See http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/GFXBoot.c32 for
more information.
