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.
nope hadn't been
Also, are you also running at a resolution that is 16:9?
resolution is 1280x1024

but can't I set pixel aspect for X ?


For an aspect ratio 16:9, you should probably be running at 1280x720 resolution. Otherwise, everything would appear scaled out of proportion.
