I don't recall an odd screensize, but then again i was running HLE at
1024x768. Two reasons. I recall somewhere along the instructions that being
the recommended resolution, and secondly that's the resolution of my X
server, and , again i seem to recall something somewhere (maybe in HLE this
time) that said it could give a performance gain to use the same resolution
as your desktop - no idea why !!
