Default lower screen resolution on notebook

i don't know if this is the problem with display, my graphic card or the driver. well, it is most probably "expected" behavior by manufacturer but it's indeed very retarded

on my notebook (some nvidia card+win xp), the lowest screen resolution possible mode to switch to is 640x480, and i mean inside fullscreen apps, not just desktop resolution. but this is very annoying for older fullscreen apps

when i try to play a game that runs natively in a lower resolution mode (for example 512x384), it runs it in 640x480 instead, with a black frame around the game screen. it just annoys the hell out of me, because on my home desktop computer (some radeon xwhatever) it will scale it to the proper resolution instead

does anybody have any experience with this? i'm not sure if this is some kind of my notebook's lcd screen limitation or just driver/gpu limitation
