Either I missed it or I didn't the actual resultion that you system
actually *used*.  I'm pretty sure it isn't using 1280x1024 because it
doesn't support it.  (Judging from what I saw.  Someone correct me if
I'm wrong.)

Here's what I *can* tell you.  I run at 770E, and I noticed that when
I use a lower resultion, the actual resolution doesn't change - I
simply use less of the screen.  The solution?  Run the system at
1024x768.  Things look fine when I do that.  I get the nice black
border otherwise.

Hope that helps,

Adam Benjamin
