problem getting 1600x1200

[badplayer]

I have kind of a quirky problem here.

Running an old Pentium III 500MHz 256MB Windows 98 machine. I could not get it to do 1600x1200. It tops out at 1280x1024 even on a Sony 20" CRT definitely capable of 1600x1200.

I just installed a Radeon 9250 128MB video card thinking that would do the trick. Now it allows 1600x1200, but it doesn't really work. Instead of 1600x1200 filling the entire screen, only a 1280x1024 portion of the screen is displayed. I can use the mouse to scroll around, but this is obviously useless for four-tabling since I'd need to see everything on the screen.

If anyone out there knows how to fix this, I sure would appreciate it!
