Remember that you can also set "DisplaySize" in your xf86config file in
order to tell it what the REAL aspect ratio is of your screen. For
example I can only get my tvout to work in 720x576 instead of 768x576
and so I set the DisplaySize variable and now mplayer, myth, etc all get
the video display aspect just perfect.
