I have a 16:9 widescreen TV.

screen #0:
dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (677x382 millimeters)
resolution: 48x68 dots per inch
depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32
I set xorg.conf so that the 16:9 broadcasts fill the screen ... note that I'm
using the nvidia driver, and I found I had to set the 16:9 via the dpi
settings :-
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "UseEvents" "1"
Option "DPI" "48x68"
Option "NoLogo" "1"
EndSection
