I believe that, with the current code in CVS, you can accomplish what
you want to do (minus the current bug involving already-anamorphic
source material) by setting your display size to 16:9 in the XF86Config
file -- add "DisplaySize 375 210" (or some other measurement that's
16:9, in millimeters) to the "Monitor" section. Note that the actual
size of the screen was not appropriate in my case, as it made the fonts
much too small.
