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.
I did, and they worked. But I 100% agree, they will work better on DVI or HDMI or DisplayPort.
