Comment (by mark-kendall):

 Having thought it through - I'm pretty sure the old code got it 'correct'
 by accident in your case. I noticed recently that the calls in
 MythXDisplay::GetDisplayDimensions do not return the correct values when
 multiple dislays are connected - which is why they are not used anymore
 (we now use XRANDR - which will only be using the EDID anyway).

 Anyway, I've started re-visiting the display aspect ratio settings - which
 should clear things up a little. Just trying to work out the cleanest
 approach.

 So in your case, you should just be able to override the aspect ratio to
 16:10 (rather than auto) (or override the EDID).
