Hello all,<br>
<br>
I've just setup a new 0.22 MythTV backend and have upgraded my Mac Mini to the matching frontend binary from <<a href="http://www.thesniderpad.com" target="_blank">http://www.thesniderpad.com</a>><br>
<br>
If I run the frontend on my MacBook Pro I can configure the 'Monitor Aspect Ratio' in Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> Appearance -> Screen Settings. However on the Mac Mini that option does not exist. This means that the Mini thinks that the tv is 4:3 when it is not, and since most of the content is 4:3... ugly.<br>
<br>
I noticed that parameter was saved in an XineramaMonitorAspectRatio entry in the settings table for the MBP so I tried adding that value for the Mini and restarting the frontend. Unfortunately that had no effect.<br>
<br>
The Mini is a little over a year or so old:<br>
<br>
Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz<br>
Graphics: Intel GMA 950 64MB<br>
<br>
Basically what I want to be able to do is inform mythfrontend on the Mini that the display is indeed 16:9. Any ideas about how (if) I can do that?<br>
<br>
Thx,<br>
<br>

Not sure about a mac mini however if it runs a flavor of xorg then you need to set a custom modeline in xorg.conf along with the options to tell it to ignore your detected settings.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks William,</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'll look into that. Given that Mythfrontend runs as a self contained app bundle on OS X, I guess the next question would be where would it look for that xorg.conf file?</div><div><br></div><div>;david</div>
