It works fine for me, however your 802.11b has to be negotiating a 11MB
connection (if it downgrades things get really jerky).  I personally was
never able to get 802.11b working with a resolution greater than 480x480. 
On the other hand I can't really tell the difference between 480x480 and
the higher resolutions anyways.

I normally use 352x240 and it looks fine on my laptop and doesn't drop
frames if I use the wireless to get mail and stuff like that.
