This does not seem to make complete (hardware) sense: if you have the RS-170 
option, then you should be getting the full screen. We do. Must be some
sort of weird software that gives you this problem :-)  Unless you are
saying that information within the confines of the screen is lost; this is
more likely as something has to be sacrificed when moving to the lower
resolution. We have run most of the demos in RS-170 mode with no problem.

Perhaps SGI would care to enlighten us on this matter ?
