Yep, that's pretty much what I think it is. Stretches and blurs along the |
| 24 |
width of the screen, every few pixels. I thought I *was* using the native |
| 25 |
resolution. Of course DDC may not be picking up the right dimensions in the |
| 26 |
first place. This is not a wide screen, just a 1280x1024 vanilla resolution. |
