Until you can replace the video card, maybe you can come up wit= h a
modeline for a lower resolution with 16:9 aspect ratio, such as:

852x480
1280x720
1365x768
1600x900

It wouldn't be optimal, but at least it would fill your screen without<= br> being stretched strangely.


Yah, I might have some luck with that.=A0 Since I= 9;m years out of practice fooling with this stuff (last seen in 2002) can s= omeone point me at the tools for
1) Computing a modeline (I understand = the quality varies a lot)
2) Configuring an xorg.conf
