</div></div>you probably can use --override-setting for mythfrontend to override the<br>

</blockquote></div><br><br>Yer a doggone genius xavier! I checked the database values in mythweb settings and saw XineramaMonitorAspectRatio was set at 1.6, or 16:10 and I changed it to 1.4 (which after playing with many 1.x's) is 4:3, and it works great! Thanks a bunch!<br>
