You need to understand VGA timing, how "new" are you to VHDL? Anyway, the DE1 User's manual has a section on VGA timing. You basically need to generate those signals. Here is more information for higher resolutions:

Good luck.

You should take a look at the University Program from Altera 

 

ftp[dot]altera[dot]com/up/pub/Altera_Material/10.1 

 

The component is called "altera_up_avalon_video_vga_controller" 

 

Good luck

Speaking of Altera wiki I forgot that I posted sample VGA VHDL for DE1 :D:
