I appreciate all your contributions. Here is a respectful correction to your nomenclature. RealVGA actually does not change the screen resolution (commonly called physical DPI), but rather, it changes the logical DPI. The screen displayed is still 480 x 640 pixels. The logical DPI is the OS' interpretation of what the physical pixel size is. Save for the math, setting to 96 DPI tells the OS that 96 pixels = 1 inch.
Clearly, reducing the DPI value will allow for more information to be displayed and all applications that depend on the OS for display will also render smaller. At default, WM running on Diamond and TP "thinks" that it takes 192 pixels to make 1 inch, and therefore the objects (fonts, icons, etc.) displayed are larger.
