    Hi, I just purchased a widescreen monitor.
    If I use the 14:3 aspect ratio, everything is fine, except I'm not using the
    whole screen
    If I change the ratio, everything is stretched and out of proportion.
    What do I do?
    Do I need drivers or a new video card?

    Thanks,
    jojo

    Have you ever seen what they call "letterbox" format on TV? That is the
    result of showing widescreen format on regular TV screens. The problem you
    have is the opposite. How do you propose to stretch X without stretching Y
    and not get distortion? You just bought big, black screen borders.
