Increasing Asus Eee PC's Screen Resolution

Jaffa of the Eeeuser forum has posted a hack to increase the screen resolution to 960 x 576 and 1280 x 976 under Linux including the default Xandros install.

Screen at 960x576:

It works by spawning a VNC server and then using a VNC client back to localhost. At the moment there are two flaws:

1) Ctrl-Alt-T opens a terminal in the master X session, rather than the one being watched. If launched from a menu, it doesn't render properly.

2)krdc, despite having options to start fullscreen and scaled, seems to ignore the options.
