I finally got around to giving this a shot.  1920x540 is... well...
weird... I don't have an antenna for HDTV right now, so just using it
for myth is... well... let's say that the menu fonts are WAY too skinny
for use.  Also, the exit screen doesn't show the "yes" box, as it's
below the screen.  This is with CVS from yesterday...

The strangest thing, BTW, is bringing up xterm windows that are twice as
tall as they are wide, yet still 80x24!
