>> I tried adding the lines above to xorg.conf and it did not help. After some googling and some searching of the files in my system (reading startup scripts, etc) I think that xrandr may be the culprit. It seems to be forcing square DPI. I found a setting using xrandr from terminal that will change this and all works well until reboot. Adding the command to a script and running it at logon, does not seem to work however. I think it has to do with the timing of the scripts that are running.<br>

Then when there is a reboot and my wife/kids press the button on the remote to start mythfronted, the xrandr command runs first.<br>

<p>I totally agree, but I did not find anything during my search, and there is only so much time I'm willing to invest.</p>
<p>Also I didn't get a response from any of the mythbuntu team. Knowing a little more about where to look might make me try again.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help.<br></p>
