The problem with most VGA converters is that they detect 800x600 from the Q60's signal. I'm sure that in many cases, 1024x512 would be possible if the converter just knew about the existence of this mode. Maybe if we can find someone who has connections to a smaller converter manufacturer, they would do a change if we commit to buy a certain number of devices.
