640 by 480, 800 by 600, and 1024 by 768 are all 4:3 ratios; what's weird
about them?

I tried to test the latest version of the SDD VESA 2.0 drivers (5.3?) from
SciTech on my 701C, but it hangs the machine on setup. (As far as I know,
I have the latest video drivers and BIOS from the IBM web site.) Have any
701C users out there gotten it to work on their boxes?
