I'm running Debian V4.0R0 on an old Presario 7588. Yep, 128k RAM, 20th
century BIOS (I've been waiting to say that). IT runs well, no issues
with
install or performance so far, but light usage.

The only issue I've had is that the screen resolution is limited to
640x480.
I'm not given any other options when I go to preferences.

Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
