The REAL annoying thing about the odd-sized resolutions was getting them to play right with Linux. In the old days, when widescreen was first becoming popular, Linux didn't support it "out of the box," so you'd reach the edge of your screen with the mouse, and the screen would SCROLL down to the dock. Sheesh. Now, it supports it natively (Fedora Core 5 did a BEAUTIFUL job on my new laptop), but not every application is "aware" of the widescreen itself -- some of them don't pull the resolution from Gnome properly. It'll come along.
