Where did you specify the res.?  I assume in the 
appropriate /etc/mol/molrc.* - once MOL is booted can you change the 
resolution from within MOL?  MacOS will save it's resolution setting and 
restore it on boot, usually regardless of most anything else.  

Having said that (and keeping in mind your statement to leave it :), I'll 
say that I always run on console.  Mostly because xwindow mode on my box 
is painfully slow, but I also like my screen real-estate and whatnot.  
Personal preference.  :^)
