I have no problem believing this is true, but I'm also sure there's more =
to it than that. The device I'm most frustrated with is a Thinkpad, =
reporting on the built-in display, for example. I've seen the same on at =
least one other laptop with a widescreen display (some HP thing), and at =
least a pair of desktop graphics cards with a 16:10 monitor attached. =
Very frustrating. I'd be interested in a survey with broader results =
than just dueling anecdotes; I'd be happy to know I'd just gotten =
unlucky.
