I just got a new monitor for my desktop system (the old one died after*many* years of service). The new monitor is a high res 16:9 monitor, but the VESA video driver insists on using 1024x768 (which was the resolution of the*old* monitor). It does seem to detect higher, 16:9 resolutions but it is not using
them.  I*think*  I need to set some low-level video mode thing, but it has
been a long time since I have had to do that that I have totally forgotten how
to do it.  And I have been unable to find it with a websearch either.


I've never had much luck connecting HD 16:9 aspect 1920x1080 (or 16:10 1920x1200) monitors to VGA outputs, even on MS Windows systems. they work much much better on DVI or HDMI or DisplayPort.
