 I'll support the minimum that the screen specifies: my
B&W G3 boots up at 640x480 on a 14" monitor. It's just
the max that is capped currently.

 One option would be to use a 16-bit wide EGA font instead
of the 8x16 one currently used - that might help the large
screens.

 Yep, should be centered.
