Found a little comment about this matter here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_display_standard
"Super XGA, a de facto standard with a resolution of 1280 × 1024
with 32 bit pixels, true colour. This is an unusual resolution
because the numbers work out for a 5:4 display rather than a 4:3
one, so many images appear wider on SXGA displays than most other
resolutions. The resolution probably should have been 1280 × 960 (a
popular standard resolution for Unix workstations)."
I guess this doesn't really address what happens with native TFT
resolutions etc., though.
Dave.
