In response I can say that:
The picture does not wrap around. It is what I would call wiggly
and has horizontal banding (each being one or a few pixels wide jumping
back and forth sideways)
no bright stripe on either side
Its regtangular and if only an empty desktop is shown, it looks quite
ok.
Further, I have since discovered that the file /var/log/xdm.log contains
the following
lines

Where the last section indicates that the 1600x1200 mode is not yet
supported.
I guess this closes my question.
