This is really an svgalib question, not an Executor question.  It
sounds like svgalib doesn't recognize your card, so you're only able
to use plain old vga modes (such as 640x480 @ 16 colors).  Make sure
svgalib really supports your card (there are many cards it does not
support), and make sure your libvga.config accurately describes your
system.
