... a 17" CRT. isolinux proposed a resolution of 1600x1200 which we changed to 1280x1024 ... Overall, I would like to see a much better user-experience in 11.3
1280x1024 is a non-conformant 5/4 aspect ratio. Using it on a normal 4/3 CRT results in vertical compression of the whole GUI desktop. Is that distortion a better user experience? I don't think the installer should think so.
A distorted desktop is a better user experience than an "out of range" message and no desktop at all.
Last CRT I ran into that couldn't do 1600x1200 was made more than 16 years ago. I've never seen an out of range warning on anything that old. Those antiques simply stayed blank, or randomized, or blew up. Whether 1600x1200 can fulfill one's fantasies is another matter, but high resolution does equate to high quality, which some people prefer, particularly as to font rendering quality. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
