I'm trying to build my own BartPE disk with the most common video drivers. However, none of my plugins or plugins I found here seem to work. I only want the drivers, not all the fancy control panels. I am mainly using BartPE as a rescue disk, and for some tools it is nice to set the display to 1024x768x32 using setres.

If I'm correct (according to the plugins I've seen here), the process of creating video drivers is very simple: Only the extracted driver files are required:
- .sys files go in \i386\system32\drivers (4,,1)
- .inf files go in \i386\inf (20,,1)
- .hlp files go in \i386\hlp (21,,)
- everything else goes to \i386\system32 (2,,1)

However, this does not seem to work for any driver I tried to make or download from here. The normal VGA driver gets loaded every time. Anyone who knows what's wrong?

You may have no PnP plugin. You're right for the drivers but you need to use a plug and play detection plugin to start your custom driver.

You can use Sherpya's XPE plugin
http://oss.netfarm.it/winpe/

or search the forum for frodo's plug and play

If you install Ferodo's Plug & Play plugin you will find a lot of dll's required for Video drivers are missing.
This-is-me published this plugin to include them.
It excludes the Nvidia G_Force Detonator drivers and the ATI Radeon Catalyst drivers as they date back to 2001.
There plugins for both of these available.

Recently I extracted these drivers from SP2 for XP as they are a lot smaller than the full driver plugin .
A few files have to be extracted from XP Sp1 or XP Sp2 and put in the files or files\dll directories.
If you deal with integrated graphics on Intel chipsets my plugin is below.

The ATI catalyst driver has not been fully tested, let me know if there any problems with it.
Similarly I have not tested all the drivers in the general driver.
Note Ferodo's plug & play plugin is required for the general video plugin.
There will be problems with some laptop graphics cards which are not supported directly by Win XP.
To run some 3-d applications & tests you will require a Direct X 8 plugin (most people use one created by viceroy.

Use a pnp plugin and include driver.
