[mythtv-users] LightWeight Window Manager & fonts

My understanding, and I'm in over my head here, is that some channels run 720p and others run 1080i.  xrandr allows each to output native instead of myth having to do scaling for a fixed output resolution.  

Could certainly be wrong, but I read that in an old thread (2004) on this list.
