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.
