Some elaboration here. You *CAN* use lower-than-native resolution. However, that usually requires interpolation. Going from 1280x1024 to 1152x864 or 1024x768 usually results in crummy display. There is one exception to this general rule. If you divide a dimension by a whole number, there isn't any interpolation. Going from 1280x1024 to 640x512 or 320x256 is supposed to be nice and clean. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
