CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN could probably be 384 kB or 512 kB. It
depends on included (configured) drivers and U-Boot commands.
1024 kB is too big here, i think. 1024 kB for CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
is OK.

u-boot/README contains a description of these options. Video
related options are described there too. README also describes
"videomode" U-Boot environment variable for selection of display
resolution and color depth.
