kernel linux-libre freesh resolution

Tried posting this on irc.libera.chat #gnu-linux-libre channel, but I couldn't get an answer.
I installed the latest version of Linux-libre from jxself's freesh repository on my Debian computer (hence I posted here instead of trisquel-users). It does not seem to help recognize the highest resolution on my computer monitor 1024x768. This is a computer and monitor from 2004 with 32 bit AMD CPU and nvidia integrated graphics Geforce4 MX.
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C17 [GeForce4 MX IGP] (rev a3)
The command
[code]xrandr --size 1024x768[/code]
responds with "Size 1024x768 not found in available modes."
I was wondering are there any recommendations, including other graphics card that might work on this computer?
I have these versions of Linux-libre on this computer 5.13.2-gnu, 5.13.1-gnu and 4.19.197-gnu all with the same result.
I would try the 4.9 or the 4.4 Linux-Libre kernel. Sometimes the later kernels don't work so well with the very old hardware.
I just installed those kernels, but doing that alone did not fix my issue.
I checked the logs, it seems X is unable to open the /dev/dri/card0 file because it does not even exist.
This issue is fixed by adding the module "nouveau" to an non-commented line of the file /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and reinstalling the kernel or running update-initramfs.
