I looked at this, but I did not understand how to configure it.  Maybe I'm
stupid, but after a quick glance at the configuration UI I wasn't sure what
I was supposed to do.  Isn't screen resolution determined by X, not by
Myth?!?  Anyway, now that you've mentioned this again I'll go back and see
what I can make of it a second time.

Note that I'm not "giving up some resolution"...I'm running this on an
analog TV! :-)
