There is a fix for this, which involves deleting a couple of preference files in your library folder, takes about 30 seconds. I am not sure if I can post other forum websites on here but you can do a quick search on neowin or macrumors forums.

I've sold a powerbook and just last week a macbook over craigslist and I've noticed that the buyers would often examine the outside of the case then move on to testing hard drive/trackpad/keyboard/speakers/dvd drive. Overall its always been a smooth transaction mostly because I am fairly anal...

I have the 7800gt hooked up with my 30in and nvidia's software/control panel offers all the settings you asked. Playing games in lower resolutions than the native 2560 isn't that bad...the thing that ends up bothering me the most is how the text in games shows up rather large in the lower...
