This is =A31000 of TFT LCD panel with 1600x1200 _physical_ pixels. The pane= l=20 size is 1600x1200, not 1024x768. So where is this erroneous value coming=20 from? > Note, that you may not be able to force resolutions > panel size.

Something at the back of my mind is=20 triggering bells here. Anyone know? I guess google is my friend ;) I'll try the other things you mention and report back later.
