Yep, that's pretty much what I think it is. Stretches and blurs along the
width of the screen, every few pixels. I thought I *was* using the native
resolution. Of course DDC may not be picking up the right dimensions in the
first place. This is not a wide screen, just a 1280x1024 vanilla resolution.
The monitor is a NEC MultiSync LCD 1860NX.
