Yeah.  I was just surprised at the values.  With those values, and since 
you seemed to be using 800x600 video, you would have been telling X to 
use 47dpi horizontally and 12dpi vertically on your 17in wide by 50in 
tall TV set...  :)  (Granted, with Myth, we want to lie about the size 
of the TV to ensure we get 100dpi, but those are some really strange 
values and closer to a 1:3 aspect ratio than a standard 4:3.)

Hmmm.   Not too far away from Melbourne, FL...  ;)
