Subject: [9fans] How get 1280x1024 resolution?

Another question from this novice Plan 9 user. I'm trying to increase 
the screen resolution to 1280x1024 from the present 1024x768x32. I've 
examined /lib/vgadb thoroughly but frankly do not entirely understand 
it. I've tried one or two options in /n/9fat/plan9.ini, including 
monitor=vs1782, vgasize=1280x1024x<various bit settings>. One 9fan in 
the archive mentioned  simply putting in monitor=t23 in his case. Mine 
seems closest to vs1782 but results in "vs1782@1280x1024x<whatever> not 
in vgadb". Have also tried monitor=sxga with similar results.

Video card and monitor are capable of supporting 1280x1024x32 or more. 
Details are:

Card: RIVA (Nvidia?) TNT2 64
Monitor: Viewsonic VE710s. H freq. 30-82, V 50-85 (very similar to the 
characteristics of the vs1782 in vgadb.
