Tbh, I think the game to old to have a higher resolution. I think it came out in 1999/2000, before big widescreens were around, meaning it doesn't support higher res. Although I may be completely wrong.

Tried setting your desktop to 16 bit , that should be 65k colours it's on about.

Other than that you could try running it with a "-w" paramater - linux version appears to support windowed mode using --w according to the Loki site who did the linux port.

If that fails you are probably out of luck and will have to run it either stretched to fill your screen or an 800x600 section in the middle if you turn off monitor scaling.

I've got the same thing with "the longest Journey" - only designed to run at 640x480 max and a 24" monitor too
