Hi, I am a .signature virus. Please copy me into your ~/.signature and send me
to all your contacts.
After a month or so log in as root and do a "rm -rf /". Or ask your
administrator to do so...

Keep in mind that with flat panel displays there is
only one *real*
pixel count. There is no way to change how many pixels are on the
screen. If your monitor is 1620x1280 native then that's all it runs.
When you set a different resolution in xorg.config then software or
hardware has to make a conversion to the native resolution of the
display. This is different than an old style analog monitor that just
changed how fast it painted pixels and could change the real
resolution. Anyway, the reason I bring this up is I find it best to
first set the monitor up using whatever the actual resolution of the
monitor is and try running that resolution for a few days. If you're
happy with it then stick with it as it's the best picture quality and
the lower system overhead.
There is no system-overhead from re-calculating the pixels. Its done by the
screen itself. But it usually looks ugly, so it is best to use the fixed
maximum resolution of the flat-panel. Even if you set the base font size to
bigger values. (Makes you find bad ui design in apps...)
I also bought
a 4-slice toaster, but it doesn't run Linux. :(
