Heres my situation... I'm looking for a way to make my LCD screen on one of my laptops to display high resolutions in full screen. The screens native display is 1024x768... but I want it higher without having to "scroll" down the screen... Is this possible? Maybe with software? The function button on the laptop works for lower resolutions, in other words if say the screen is showing at 800X600 you can choose if you want the image stretched, or properly aligned with the pixels...
 
Anyway if anyone knows of a way to do this that'd be great.
 
Thanks!

I don't know a way to do this, but I don't see the point either. If you could do it, it would have to downsample the image to the resolution of the lcd display. If you did this for your desktop it would make most text hard to read, and if you did it for games they would probably look worse than if you just ran at the native resolution in the first place.
