When I try this morning I now have the DISPLAY=0.0 for some
reason. So back to my initial problem of low resolution. Is
nvidia driver in Devuan by default or do I have to install
p firmware-nvidia-graphics? I do have non-free in my
sources.list. The command $ lsmod grep video does return
video 81920 1 nouveau
And so it seems I do have a driver.

Shouldn't I be getting a range of resoltuions?
This morning I had the error: Authority of host 'histomat.net (216.239.138.216)'
can't be established. I went ahead and established the authority.
