While it may work on those different modes, you'll find some will look
just awful. It can't render text across fractions of screen pixels.
You need a direct 1:1 or other direct multiple of the screen resolution
versus video resolution.
I can see little point for using anything other than two or three
resolutions: Full, normal resolution. Then perhaps a half resolution
if you're trying to play some game or watch MPEGs on a low-spec PC.

Test running FC6 & FC5, and still using FC4.
