VESA is not supported on AMD64 because of some BIOS communication that the 64-Bit version can't do. I ran into this issue yesterday, when I tried to compile with the VESA option. The other option should work, but it's rather useless given that you can't use VESA modes. I was able to confirm this by looking at previous mailing list entries. It was hidden deep within one of the threads. I'm not sure if there is another way of changing console resolution, but at the moment, I'm stuck with only one mode as well.
