The problem is that xxrandr sees only one mode $ xrandr -q xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Current, minumum and maximum are all 1024 x 768. Does this confirm Ludocico's suggestion that a video card will be of no help? The card has nothing to work with. I suppose gamma correction has nothing to do with dpi, but failure to get gamma correction suggests to me a firmware problem. > $ xrandr --verbose That returns the information I got above with $ xrandr -q > put at least the first 15 or 20 lines in your reply please.
