Just finished my SL install, all works fine, except my graphics card. I have 1 of the 2 displays working on a non native resolution. Through Uinstaller I can create a custom EFI for my GeForce 9500 GT, but when I pick any of the VGA/DVI options, I end up with weird resolutions, i.e. 1680x1050 gives me about 10% of the desktop "outside" of the display.

Anyone who has a solution for this? Would be sad to switch back to Leo.
