I have very vanilla hardware and when I just booted the resolution
appears lower (icons bigger, jpg's blurry) and the aspect ratio is off
(icons are taller than usual).

The screen resolution is currently 960x600, which I don't recall ever
having even heard of. If it was 1020xwhatever, which I suspect it
probably was, would that information be logged somewhere?

It's a built-in video card, but, I guess, could be a hw problem.

The monitor settings don't offer a resolution setting.

Hello

Is it a notebook or desktop PC?
Is it a CRT or TFT?
What graphics card, what monitor?

What's the output of "lspci"?
What's the output of "xrandr --query"?
What's the output of "sudo get-edid | /usr/sbin/parse-edid"?

(You need x11-apps/xrandr and x11-misc/read-edid - both is probably
installed if you have X.)

Bye,
Daniel
