Comment:
Our nvidia driver doesn't support chips this new yet - so you're going to
be stuck with VESA mode until it does. VESA is limited to video modes
offered by your card's VESA BIOS.
These days, the VESA BIOS in most cards is usually pretty bare-bones, and
nvidia especially doesn't put a lot of effort into theirs it seems. You
can see at the top of the syslog when the VESA mode list is queried, that
1280x1024 is the largest option offered by your card.
Basically, this ticket should become an enhancement request to add support
for your card to the nvidia driver - otherwise you can also try a
different video card.
