My (IBM Stinkpad) laptop has 1024x768 display, using the Rage Mobility M1
chip -- if you uncheck the "hide modes that this monitor can't display" on
the Display Properties >> Settings >> Advanced >> Monitor it lets you set
the display resolution up to 1600x1200 and scrolls the LCD window around on
that.  Dunno if yours works that way, but worth a try.  The price is
certainly right!
