Change monitor definitions in grf_rh.c. For example, the following
entry
/* 640 x 480, 8 Bit, 38366 Hz, 76 Hz */
{ 31000000, 0, 640, 480, 161,169,182,198,197, 481, 482, 490, 502, 502,
8, RZ3StdPalette,1280,1024, 5120, FX, FY, KERNEL_FONT, 32, 255},
will implement a 1024x768 screen in changed to:
/* 640 x 480, 8 Bit, 38366 Hz, 76 Hz */
{ 31000000, 0, 640, 480, 161,169,182,198,197, 481, 482, 490, 502, 502,
8, RZ3StdPalette,1024, 768, 5120, FX, FY, KERNEL_FONT, 32, 255},
^^^^^^^^^
You can change any monitor definition in that way, but keep in mind to keep
the horizontal value a multiple of 32 (or 16, at least). I think the VGA
chip won't like you if you don't follow this rule :-)
