10 stupidity? Some very dumb group of persons must be responsible for
11 1280x1024....

13 I am using 1280x960 with my 17" crt and used it with my (now dead after a
14 loooong life) 20" crt. 1280x960 is even a valid vesa mode. So use it, if you
15 want. At least with 1280x960 the aspect ratio is correct, circles are circles
16 and fonts are much less ugly than with 1280x1024.
