Well, it works just fine for me at 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024.  No 
problem.  Maybe because I was just running games with the thing.  (Maelstorm 
is the best Mac game out there.  Unfortunately, I cannot stay alive for 10 or 
even 5 minutes.)  I have try 1.99p and 1.99q and both are fine.
