When you are configuring your xserver, at the end you get the list of modes ( resolutions ) at the given bpp. 8bpp modes are chosen as defaults. What you need to do is: Depending upon the monitor and card values you will get the list of all the modes that your computer can support. Choose them in the decreasing order: For example, if it looks like 640x480 800x600 1024x764 8bpp Hit 1 and change the order into 1024x764 800x600 640x480 Or something like that. What will happen is xserver will look for the first valid mode and use it. If it doesnt work, try small resolutions.
