My LCD TV in the bedroom only has a native resolution of 640x480. Now this is no biggy for watching SD TV or DVD's.
Last night I installed Ubuntu and set the resolution to 800x600. Things got a little fuzzy, but still generally readable. When I dropped the res. down to 640x480 it looked fine.
I am going to download xbmc for linux tonight. Will xbmc run at a screen res of 640x480 or will I have to set the pc to 800x600 and let the tv downscale?
I don't have the $$$ to buy a new screen this month, so this is a short term stop gap.
Thanks for the help.
