[mythtv-users] Skewed text and video display on widescreen 5120x1440

Hi,

    Setting the Aspect Ratio to "0% {32:9}"  fixes the video display 
which is great and a bit unexpected as the GUI is still streched out 
with the characters far too big.

    I'm including the log. As for the EDID, xrandr gets it right, but if 
I then decode the EDID HEX data that it provides, I don't see the 
5120x1440 resolution.

       xrandr --verbose
