I just installed buster on a new machine (well, new to me; I think that the mobo is two or three years old).
The GUI splash screen comes up with very large icons (i.e., it's low res), and once I am logged in, the (KDE) function to control the size of display provides nothing higher than 1600x1200. My other two (non-Intel) buster systems on the same monitor happily generate a high-res login screen and operate at 1920x1280 once I'm logged in (possibly that's the resolution of the login screen as well; I don't know how to determine the log-in resolution). It's an Intel chipset. The installation procedure installed xserver-xorg-video-intel, which suggests removing that package if one's system is newer than 2007, and letting the X server handle everything. So I removed that package and rebooted, but nothing obvious changed: still a low-res login screen and a logged-in display limited to 1600x1200. The chip is an E3-1245, which is supposed to be able to operate at 4096x2304 resolution. Any suggestions as to what I might need to do to improve at least the logged-in resolution?
