The VESA driver, which is the eprom on the card, is configured by that eprom I believe. It is entirely possible they don't support any 16/9 format, I have run into that. Installing the proprietary nvidia driver will likely fix that, however, the nvidia drivers effect on real time latency drives a silver spike thru the heart of any expectations that it will work with a stepgen driven stepper system. Servo's maybe, but not direct from the parport driven steppers. You may want to see if a different, equally economical card might work.
