The problem is that xxrandr sees only one mode

$ xrandr -q
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default

Current, minumum and maximum are all 1024 x 768.

Does this confirm Ludocico's suggestion that a video card will be of
no help? The card has nothing to work with.

I suppose gamma correction has nothing to do with dpi, but failure to
get gamma correction suggests to me a firmware problem.

That returns the information I got above with $ xrandr -q
