Netbook resolution

First time out of the vault
I'm trying to run the game on a 1024x600 screen (10 inch) netbook. I have the high res patch, and the game runs beautifully at my native resolution.

Unfortunately, on this small screen I find the game to be very unsatisfying at native res. Everything is simply too small for me to get into the game. I have since run it at 640x480, and while that solves the problem of everything being too small, it also makes everything look too wide due to my irregular native res.

I've tried to do some basic math and find a custom res that is both low enough to make the game seem personal, but which also doesn't distort the image due to my native res. I've had no luck thus far, with the game failing to boot at any irregular (e.g. 823x600) resolutions. I'd appreciate any help on this issue you guys can offer.

Thank you!
 
Erm. EEE PCs have a button which adjusts how screen resolutions are centered and stretched by the display.

If you got one of those, just run the game in 640x480, and keep hitting the button until you get two vertical black bars on the sides of the screen.

VOILA.
 
Whatever it is, there's a way to control stretching. If it's not a hardware button, then it is in the video card driver's advanced properties.
