Just for the fun of it, I have a 1600x1200, or 1600:1200 or 16:9 or
4:3 screen on my Thinkpad t42p and don't think I could live without
it. Others look at my screen and say that they can't see the
letters. I sit (with my old man's trifocals) close enough that the
small text is clear and think the added information of a 250x100 text
window is worth sitting closer.
Perhaps the DisplaySize option for xorg.conf could help with that. Check the
xorg docs for it's use (it's straight forward though).
What you can do with it is besides telling X what resolution to use is to tell
the display size. This should have impact on the fonts and other displayed
items.
It didn't work very well for my display size though (2mx1.5m projector
screen ) otherwise it has been a nice feature to solve display issues :-)
