My recent problem with a user using a monitor/card that doesn't support 800x600x85 has me wondering which resolution(s) my game should support. All of my graphics are pre-rendered so I can't support any arbitrary resolution. What is a good target resolution for a fullscreen game?

This is really a misconfiguration issue with his OS or window server. With a new enough monitor it should be able to tell the OS via the graphics card what its capabilities are, but clearly either that's not happening for some reason.
