It's also about your monitor. You may have a superb high end class graphics card, but you also have to have a monitor capable of displaying such high resolutions. For example, 17'' monitors are best suited for 1024x768 resolution, they can go higher, but at an expense of poor refresh rate, which sucks. If you want to have better resolutions go for 19'', 21'' or more - although, I haven't used a monitor bigger than 19'' myself.

These days if you have a more or less new video card the monitor is the problem. You might check it's maximum resolution. You can hurt your monitor now if the video card tries to put it in a higher resolution than it can handle.
I personably switch into 1280x1024 when I run FG.These days if you have a more or less new video card the monitor is often the problem. You might check it's maximum resolution.

Since you have a Thinkpad, I think you're pretty much stuck with that. Unless you hook up an external monitor to it.

I feel your pain. At 2048x1536, on a 20" visible area monitor, I still can't seem to get everything I want up without overlapping something.
