I have a nice flatscreen that calculates that for you...... the shutdown
screen is 720 by 400, 31.5KHz horz, 70 Hz vert, neg/pos on my i810 chipset
w/ integrated video. This is also the same resolution that scandisk runs at
;^)!! (Guess how I found that out!!! Can we say "crash"?) Both of the boot
screens are the same resolution also.
