seriously, i'm really sorry for the triple posting...

another update on the issue...you don't need to edit the config.lcl file at all, all you need to do is this:

When you change the resolution to what you want it to be in the config.div file, make sure that when in the game, you press Q to bring up the quest journal first, THEN press A to bring up the automap. It'll bring up a full-screen map, but the buttons will be across the middle of the screen, kinda out of place.

After having pressed Q first, THEN A, you don't need to press Q first anymore for this time you have the game on. Every time you turn off the game and turn it back on, you'll have to do the "Q then A" thing again.

Either way, i'm just so happy that i figured this out, cause IMO, the game looks better at 1280x1024
