You probably have a monitor that has to run in "interlaced" mode when
it goes to 800x600 resolution.  I'm not sure technicaly what this does,
but it always compresses the screen somewhat.  I am also using an ATI
VGA Wonder 512, but I'm lucky enough to have a monitor that runs in
"non-interlaced" mode at 800x600.  But, if I go to 1024x768 I get the
same compression problem you described.  So, it looks like money is
the only cure to your problem.
