Hopefully you can find those people and get the info from them.

You might also be able to use a normal desktop running in 1200x900 and a 
full screen qemu image to get sugar then VNC that over to a client setup 
to display 800x600.  VNC (or tightVNC) is going to give you a lot of 
control over how aggressive you want your scaling to be.

Another option you can do is to take snapshots of the screen on the XO 
and then play with scaling them.  Alt-F1 will take a screen snapshot and 
put a 1200x900 PNG into the journal.  You can take a bunch of snapshots 
of various screens and then run those png files  though all types of 
scaling and see what looks good and what does not.
