I've already tried your patience with a query about why xrandr tells me my display uses VGA 1024x768 when it shows my video card supports DVI 1920x1080. I hope you will bear with me if I pursue the matter.
I am told that because selection of optimal resolution is today done by the kernel, my 3.16.0-4 kernel therefore has a bug. I find significant that kernel.org skips this kernel for possible downloading. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I'm loading fluxbox on devuan-jessie without a desktop environment. When I edit the linux line in the GRUB menu by appending video=VGA-1:d, the display comes up with the proper DVI 1920x1080 resolution. Does this not show that the kernel is sick? So I'd like to use a different kernel, but there are no alternatives in the devuan repository. How then should I install an alternative kernel? Some time ago I tried to install devuan testing and it failed right away for reasons I forget. Is the testing installation option actually working?
