13 OK, I switched to 1280x960 and noticed something weird. Here is the

16 1280x1024:
17 screen #0:
18 print screen: no
19 dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (339x271 millimeters)
20 resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
21 depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32

23 1280x960:
24 screen #0:
25 print screen: no
26 dimensions: 1280x960 pixels (339x271 millimeters)
27 resolution: 96x90 dots per inch
28 depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32
