Retracted that. With this the mouse wasn't visible. Now not giving any vga
option, which means it's '-vga std'

The same idea worked for me by choosing the highest resolution at boot
time, which gives me a high resolution X11. My window manager (ratpoison)
allows me to pad pixels on the sides. So I get exactly the size I need by
padding.

Now only problem left is a bit of noise when playing videos. I am not sure
when it started, as it was playing smoothly a day ago. I also upgraded
from 9.3 to -current. Not sure if that mattered.
