No, it's not emulating XGA. It's displaying "native" XGA by writing to a centered block of 1,024 x 768 pixels. The remaining pixels are simply not being used.
That's not how 1024x768 seems to work on my 1704FP. On http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/Font/fonts-ptdemo.html the 400px box measures ~140mm tall and ~131mm wide. 1024x768 on a 5:4 display makes people look thinner than they really are in pictures displayed on them.
So it's actually *emulating* a lower resolution 'active display field' within a larger, higher resolution matrix? There's a cost savings step or two involved somewhere :-) ... like adapting a display engine that was originally developed for CRT. I'd expect that behavior in a 'multisync' CRT. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
