stupidity? Some very dumb group of persons must be responsible for 1280x1024.... I am using 1280x960 with my 17" crt and used it with my (now dead after a loooong life) 20" crt. 1280x960 is even a valid vesa mode. So use it, if you want. At least with 1280x960 the aspect ratio is correct, circles are circles and fonts are much less ugly than with 1280x1024. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
