MacOS determines which resolutions your monitor supports by reading sense
pins on the cable.  Your VGA cable adapter is probably hard-coded to
640x480 or 512x382 or something.  You need a VGA adaptor hard-coded to
another resolution, or one with DIP switches to set the sense pins (I have
purchased adaptors like this in Akihabara Tokyo; good luck if you live
somewhere else).  Maybe you can find something online.
