Yeah. I was just surprised at the values. With those values, and since
you seemed to be using 800x600 video, you would have been telling X to
use 47dpi horizontally and 12dpi vertically on your 17in wide by 50in
tall TV set... :) (Granted, with Myth, we want to lie about the size
of the TV to ensure we get 100dpi, but those are some really strange
values and closer to a 1:3 aspect ratio than a standard 4:3.)
