[Nottingham] Ubuntu, nvidia and biggish screen

[James of the family Moore]

I have a Xerox 22" widescreen which shows 1920x1080 as the native
resolution. It works fine at 1600x1200 with no panover and no border,
and with such a minor variation in aspect ratio it's not even
noticeable... everything's still sharp and movies look as they should.
I'm putting it through a NVidia GeForce 6200V+ (even older than your
card!).
