I tried today to run my trusty CRT in a 1200x900 mode, but the a-test board with image build 118 would not let me. I could only make X11 work at 1152x864 and set the virtual resolution to 1200x900. This is inconvenient but I think we should test projects at their actual size.
Same goes for sugar-jhbuild. If your machine does at least 1280x960 you could run Sugar at the right resolution by giving the right arguments to Xnest.

Thank you for reporting. Virtual resolution means that you have to pan around?
I imagine that the B-Test board users will use the system in different screen resolution. So, we shouldn't assume a particular fixed resolution. (And I think it is good practice, as the product OLPC will have different generations.)

Yes, but it's only a small amount.

I thought the resolution will be fixed for this generation.

Unless I'm quite mistaken, the BTest machines will all have the actual new display of 1200x900, and will be fixed as Bert suggests.
Cheers,
Alan
