Hi I am having a problem with my X server. i am using amd64 with nvidia driver. I have it connected to a plasma screen its an old one with a menu option for 4:3 or 16:9 I would like to keep it in 16:9 mode for watching video's, but when i do this. my aspect ration seems to go askew. I have tested this by using xli to display a jpg on the screen and on my laptop (windows) and on another debian amd64 machine.
How do you watch the videos? If you are using mplayer, look into the -monitoraspect, -monitorpixelaspect options.
Also, are you also running at a resolution that is 16:9?
my Xorg.conf seems to be set up okay, I let nvidia work out the right dimensions of the monitor and freq and dpi. it is current set to 35 x 50. I have measured the screen size and it is the same as the one reported. so it has all the right dimensions. any one have any idea how to config X to handle the screen when i put it in 16:9 mode
