If you try MS-OS/2, SDK 1.06 or IBM OS/2, 1.1, the installation
program automatically recognizes the 8514A-adapter and switches
to the high resolution (1024 x 768), if the attached monitor allows
it. With the 12 and 14 inch monitors they stay at the low resolution,
but with the 8514-monitor it works. I don't have any experience with
the 8507-monitor. 
Check out following points:
- Cable and connector (the ability for the high resolution is
  coded in the connector)
- Has your 8514-adapter enough memory?

Perhaps this helps.
