Description Matthew Kirkwood 2001-03-27 16:35:41 UTC

The display on my Toshiba laptop looks terrible in 800x600 (and, I suspect
640x480 too).  Past installers have even managed to make the LCD display
fail to sync (really!).

A documented option to force the framebuffer (and thus X) to use a
different resolution would be cool.
