I managed to install Debian, but the screen size is fixed at 1024x768. It seems I can’t adjust it further. My monitor has a higher resolution of 1600x900. Can you check if there’s a way to change that display setting?

You're running a Pentium G4400 processor without a graphics card.

Open the xrandr utility from the archive manager.

I've already tried, but the basic command didn't work because the resolution wasn't supported. I struggled with the commands and kept getting syntax errors.

Your Xrandr display output is currently showing a specific configuration, and you're connecting via either VGA or HDMI cable. Let me know if you need further details!

You're seeing 1024x768 resolution for minimum, current, and maximum settings because of the DVI cable configuration.

After reviewing the latest updates, this chip is relatively new and may need an updated kernel plus a 64-bit operating system. Switching from Debian to Ubuntu was necessary after purchasing a new graphics card. What does uname -a display?

Your Debian 8 VM is up-to-date with kernel 3.16, but the hardware from 2015 may lack compatible drivers. Check forums for kernel 4.1 support.
