- That's only 36dpi. Which means your 17" monitor is at least 23" wide.
- Very unusual. I suspect what you have is a 512*384 picture (for a 15"
- wide 17" monitor) or a 640*480 picture (for a 17" wide 17"
- monitor--also very unusual, but maybe you overestimated the size of
- that 9 point font).

- To get 832 by 624, connect pins 4 and 10, Leave 7 and 11 unconnected.
-
- To get 640 by 870, connect pins 10, 7, and 11. Leave 4 unconnected.
