Hello,

now I resolved the problem myself on source code level. The relevant
parts are two sections in savage_video.c and savage_streams.c, where
scaling factors explicitly for LCD usage are calculated. The problem was
mainly that only the drawing starting point was modified by the scaling
factor, but not the size-defining end of the drawing rectangle.
Additionally I had to remove a 7-pixel offset which seems had been added
for a very specific case I could not reproduce.

See the appropriate patch files attached to this comment. They resolve
this issue completely and are tested on all available resolutions on my
HP XE3-GC machines with Savage/MX 8MB, max. hardware LCD resolution
1024x768.
