[mythtv] MythTV bad interaction with X11 (xorg.conf)

On my system, with an IIyama Vision Master Pro 17, the fonts used
in things like Mozilla are, by default, too small to read (easily).

Someone suggested, that when X11 was mis-interpreting the Screen 
size, and that one should put in a DisplaySize option-line in the
Display section of xorg.conf.

For my 17inch screen, the appropriate line is

	DisplaySize	328 246

with this line, the fonts used by Mozilla are MUCH larger, but and
this is the point

The fonts used by MythTV are so large that only about 3/4 of them
actually display on the screen.

My assumption is that MythTV is mis-interpreting SOMETHING that it
is getting from X11 to determine screen/size fonts...

The only way I can use MythTV is to go back and comment out the
DisplaySize line, and for now, use Mozilla on a different machine.
