I have an IBM 8514 on IBM's Model 80 up and running. When you only get VGA resolution with PM, then you don't have a 8514-monitor connected to your 8514! The culprit is the connector of the monitor! IBM has used coding which enables the 8514 to check what kind of monitor is connected - and there are three different monitors it will recognize: VGA monochrome VGA color 8514 HIRES. The default is VGA color. So if your monitor is capable of displaying 8514's high resolution of 1024 x 768, you have to configure your connector to 8514 standard. This is the same connector ( submicro 15 pin ), but different pins are connected. Best you buy a preconfigured cable. (The coding is acutally done within the connector and *not* by the monitor!).
