The following info came from TLUG I didn't do the math but I think I understand what is being said. Are the native resolutions determined by the factory (hardware) or can software settings manipulate native resolutions?

Actually the only real issue with LCD screens is:

Only use the native resolution and never use anything else, unless it

is

an exact integer divisor of the native resolution.

So a 1600x1200 LCD can be used at 800x600 as well, and 400x300, but

you

really don't want any others.

A 1280x1024 LCD on the other hand has basically no other reasonable resolutions it can display.
