Thanks Steve,

I can force that resolution using SwitchResX but still no difference. 4:3
content is still stretched.

Can I compare my configuration with yours?

I'm running:

Mac OS X 10.5.8
Mythfrontend-release-0-22-fixes-20100117_Rev.23167 (from thesniderpad.com)

I've tried Snow Leopard on the Mini (since that is what is running on the
MBP) and I was originally running a build of Mythfrontend 0.22-fixes from
November.
