According to the EDID you can get 1280x1024 natively on this beast.
However, I don't know if that will help at all with the scaling issue. It
looks like the EDID is crappy in this thing, at least for VGA. SVIDEO is
very unlikely to be any better, but you can try, i guess.
If it has DVI, that might help.
