Okay, not terribly surprised given my history with X and this motherboard, but this didn't work at all. DisplaySize is accepted, but Myth apparently doesn't use it.<br>

Does X use it (as it's not a MythTV setting, MythTV can't use it)? Did you see the line in the Xorg.log saying it was being used to compute the DPI? What's the output of:<br>
<br>
xdpyinfo | grep -B2 resolution<br>
<br>
when you're trying to set a proper aspect ratio (which, it seems from the below, would be 4:3, right?)?<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks for pushing me on this. I forgot to try to set the DisplaySize with xrandr (--fbmm argument), because instead of preserving the specified DisplaySize, xrandr inexplicably preserves the DPI instead. So now with specifying the correct Display Size, I can eliminate the Video Aspect Override. As a bonus, now that the DPI is correct for the display the fonts are bigger too, which my wife appreciates for readability.<br>
