Desktop Resolution
"What is your desktop Resolution?"[list=a]
a. Above 1024 x 768
b. 1024 x 768
c. 800 x 600
d. Below 800 x 600[/list=a]
The first one is for monitors with the standard resolutions above 1024 x 768, mostly applicable for 17" onwards monitors....
The last one is simply kept....just in remote cases...any one using...a low resolution (due to missing graphics driver ;-) )
Please poll..

Just as good as it is for Windows or Mac. I have an LCD and I am sure several other people do.
I use 1280x1024 for a 17" Nec LCD monitor. When I had a 19" I went like 1600x1400. |

1280*1024 on a 15' screen. Why are high resolutions only for large screens? Everything looks huge on 1024*768

My mom's new Suse system runs on a 19" Acer LCD. It is fscking beautiful!! I come back to my house with my wimpy Sony G420 CRT 20" and I think to myself...only $300....only $300...
To answer the questions, the new X.org drivers work really well. I have had no issues with my system (ATI 7500) or my mom's (Nvidia GX5200). |
