The problem seems to be that it tries to find the largest mode possible
with 3Bpp, and so it ends up using the full size as I have resized the
OSD down ;)

Oops, sorry, works here too. Probably I looked too fast, as the osd
blinked when using in earlier version

Thanks, I now use width 506 and height 358, and the text is much more
readable :)
...where another question arises: Why doesn't the setup allow less than
480 height? I edited setup.conf manually.

I thought of that too, but it would indeed be complex to calculate the
areas.
