[X4U] Force PB17" external projector/display to 1024x768.

[James S Jones]

The listing for that projector on projector central says the native 
resolution is 800x600, with a maximum of 1280x1024. I'd assume that 
would be at 60Hz, since it's LCD. What happens if you set the PB to 
1280x1024, thousands of colors and mirror to the projector?
