Does the machine support those new pixels?
If not then you still have those 640x480 pixels in your new 1024x768 screen.
One manual says that internal LCD resolution must be 640x480 and 16bit colors.
It succests that connector is something parallel.
You can test it but for that you probably need a more than mechanical adapter, since it's rather irritable if you must open and close the machine all the time.
