Comment 31 for bug 188792

Naturally if I had it installed instead of just booting the livecd 75
times, I wouldn't mind such a simple modification...
(I don't like trusting my life to a partitioner in an alpha OS)

"Most people would say 1280x1024@60hz is pretty rough on the eyes. I
would argue that based on your monitor's EDID, 1024x768@85hz would be
the preferred mode. 1280x960 happens to be right in the middle. Some
people like 800x600. That's why there is a preferred mode option."

'Oh gee, they didn't sell pathetic enough displays at Wal-Mart, looks
like I'll have to get this ok one and set it down to youtube
resolution.'
I'll take your word that those people exist, I've never met one. ..I
can see that having a GUI that's not zoomable can really be a pain
with any kind of decent display, but .svg icons should do a lot to
help us out there.

My only argument now is that more people will /prefer/ 1280x1024 on
this display than won't, and because of that, it should be the default
resolution..

Sorry for getting snappy, I hear people who hold things in become mass
murderers. I'm a quiet, friendly guy who always keeps to himself but
lends a helping hand when people need it, so I figure the risk factors
are already stacked against me.
