Hence why the native resolution should have been 1280x960 in the first
place.

I wonder if you can force it to leave parts of the screen unused and run
4:3 aspect ratio display on it anyhow... :)

I have seen 1280x768 I think it was, on some widescreen laptop displays.
Not sure what ratio that works out to although I think 5:3 might be
about right.  I guess 15:9 is close to the 16:9 that DVD widescreen
seems to expect.
