I'll offer 2 follow up questions :-)
1. What about the odd resolution one, SVGA+? I believe that's
1400x1050. It's been a few years since I've suffered through mode lines
and the like in XF86Config(-4), and I've never seen Xconfigurator offer
options on that screen resolution. Would that be something that's
difficult to configure?
2. Dell also offers the UXGA screen (1600x1200) on a 14.1" display. Has
anyone tried using one of these things? I too have good eyesight but I
don't know if I'm into a challenge ;-) 1600x1200 looks good on the 8100
with a 15" display but they're pretty big and heavy (>= 7lbs). The 4100
model looks good for a balance of portability and feature set at 5-6lbs,
offers the option of the 1600x1200 screen, but I'm not sure if it's
legible at 14.1". Thoughts on this? :-)
