This library provides one way to change the output mode of a graphics
adapter to a specified resolution.   If you're happy running at the
standard resolution instead of changing it, I'm not sure you need it.

It's also being deprecated in X, being replaced by Xrandr, which provides
more functionality, such as changing the size of the virtual desktop so
that you don't go into panning mode when you change the resolution.
