 I don't believe Xinerama is being ussed. It is not listed in
 /etc/X11/xorg.conf and I don't recall requesting or seeing any reference
 to it during the install.

 That said, swting separate video modes for playback and gui, even if the
 modes are both the same, but now setting the aspect ratio does resolve the
 issue.

 I take that to mean that Xinerama is enabled by default on my system. I
 gather one other option would be to add a line 'option "xinerama" = "no"'
 or something like that in xorg.conf.

 So yes this does turn into a 'fixed' issue, though I'm thinking that it
 needs to be better documented, and may need to be an option in something
 other than using different screen resolution modes for Gui and playback.

 I'm also seeing a possible configuration issue that will bring some
 confusion to this issue. On page 2 of 9 of the Appearance series of
 dialogs there is a checkbox tu 'Use GUI size for TV playback' then on page
 3 of 9 the entire page is dedicated to setting different video modes for
 GUI and TV playback, which only opens if you select a check boxx on that
 page that reads 'Separate video modes for GUI and TV playback'

 I suspect that they refer to something different, but it looks like they
 are two checkboxes for the same thing.
