Below it says to add a line due to a broken BIOS.

It looks like it detected it as you wanted. It apparently does not see

I didn't see the mode  above either in the long scrolled information 
from this log file that you attached. 1280x1024 were the maximum modes 
listed.

BIOS error?

  No help I know but trying to detect any problems by scanning the log.
