Are you sure that your _display_ supports more than 1024x768? I don't know 
your particular model, but AFAIK 1400x1050 is the maximum which is supported 
by R51 models (on the internal display), and this maximal resolution is only 
available for the more expensive ones. You might try to get more on an 
external monitor, but then you need a dual-head configuration.
