Configuring widescreens for regular screen modes.

Hi All :)

Just got a new widescreen laptop (1280 x 800). FC3 works absolutely fine
but I was just wondering if someone would help me out with one tiny
little thing.

If I have a game that runs in 640 x 480, 800 x 600, etc then when I put
it in fullscreen the entire screen is, of course, filled. However on a
widescreen laptop this looks wrong since the horizontal is a lot longer
than the vertical and so the image is elongated.

Is there anything I can tinker with in xorg.conf for my modes that might
get me a desired square screen? Black strips down the left and right
hand side wouldn't bother me in the slightest. This will help a lot with
my future game development :)

Stevie :)
