Hi Tobias,

you should use a standard PC mulitfrequency monitor, as most
HP monitors are fixed frequency and won't work.

Furthermore you might search in sstfb.c for:
/*
  Default video mode .
  0 800x600@60  took from glide
  1 640x480@75  took from glide
  2 1024x768@76 std fb.mode
  3 640x480@60  glide default */
#define DEFAULT_MODE 1

and try to change the DEFAULT_MODE to 2 or 0.

Greetings,
Helge
