I don't have my laptop with me, but I referred to this tweak guide below by adding the /resolution command switch. I think I used the 1280/960

When I tried this the beginning sequence filled the entire screen, as well as the gameplay too but when I try the samething on my main pc the entire game, beginning sequence and all is squished. I will look again at my laptop when I get back home and I'll post again if I was incorrect and the picture stretches, but I'm very certain it didnt.

The tweakguide has already been talked about here on this thread. It doesnt seem that the /resolution command works for game play. In fact, on the tweak guide, it says "/resolution [width height] - Sets the resolution for the server window" I think that resolution command only sets the size of the server window when you run a server. Who know.
Though, I really wish I can play it 1440x900 WS :(
