[mythtv-users] Playback looks at screensize not at monitor or windowsize

[Hika van den Hoven]

I was further thinking about the difference between monitor and screen
in X. Normally in Xinerama you have one screen (and one driver
instance) for every monitor. So looking at the X screen for monitor
properties like aspect ratio seems OK. But even in the old X
definition it isn't OK. Even with one monitor/one screen the screen
can be any size, unrelated to the monitor size. It's a virtual size,
over which you can pan the monitor as a view screen. So the two are
unrelated. Nvidia's step to put the monitors in one screen is a
completely logical next step. Only not jet supported by most monitor
aware software. But then even Xinerama is only properly supported by
a few of Window managers.
