I'll support the minimum that the screen specifies: my B&W G3 boots up at 640x480 on a 14" monitor. It's just the max that is capped currently. >i agree. it looks far better to have small text on a large screen >(especially lcds) than to have the text stretched (interpolated on >lcds). One option would be to use a 16-bit wide EGA font instead of the 8x16 one currently used - that might help the large screens. >i think 800x600 works. is it possible to have it centered in the >screen? (excuse me if it in fact already is Yep, should be centered. later, Peter.
