Re: Screen sizes

[Evan Langlois <ekl fastlane net>]

My laptop will do 1024x768 on an external monitor, but its internal screen is
800x600.
I had to purchase a commercial X-server to get 800x600 cause Xfree86 didnt
support the chipset and would only work in 640x480.

I don't know of many X programs that work in 640x480, so shooting for that low
of a resolution could be an unrealistic goal.  However, my laptop is my main
computer, so I'd really like it if Gnome looked good in 800x600!!
