Quick addendum:
"I would argue that based on your monitor's EDID, 1024x768 at 85hz would
be the preferred mode."
If I had a GPU that didn't completely suck, I would most certainly
want to use that mode for OpenGL applications.  85 FPS would be
awesome.
As it stands, Firefox gains a lot more from those extra pixels than it
does from being painted at 85 Hz.
Also, it's trivial for games to change the screen mode, they do it all
the time, I may even have tremulous set to 1024x768 at 85Hz.

Let's forget all this for a second and say that I want the 1280x960 resolution.
...you know, if it didn't stretch everything insanely, I probably
wouldn't have even noticed in the first placed, and also, even if I
had, probably not have cared that much.

If this bug is fixed only by making 1280x960 work properly by default,
I'll be content.

And just as a final note, all politics and technical arguments aside,
you guys rock, your work is amazing, I'm very, very grateful for all
the time you spend on these drivers and I think many other people are
too.  Don't let the minutiae get you down.
