When following the instructions in https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/LinuxHVMTips/ 
... I do get the higher resolutions.  So large, in fact it is too big.  There 
are other resolutions now available to me.  
But whatever I select, results in a screen that seems to have a sync problem.  
The video is scrambled, only the default resolution works (which is now too 
large).

Is there a fix for this?
I have tried setting HorizSync to many different values.  This does result in 
different resolution options available in the menu... but the same problem of 
not being able to have a working resolution.

My HVM is Lubuntu 17.04

Thanks.
