Comment (by axeld):

 No, 640x480 is not the default resolution for VESA - IIRC it would use
 1024x768 if there is no EDID information. However, in your case, your
 monitor asks for that resolution, and the VESA driver obeys; you're
 obviously not alone with this, but you can thank your monitor's
 manufacturer for the poor end result -- your monitor is obviously rather
 old.

 In any case, I think it isn't too hard to detect such cases, and use a
 better default resolution in that case. This doesn't fit this ticket
 anymore, though. I've opened #7946 to track this.
