I have a button on my remote to toggle the zoom and I do use it all
the time. The only sync issues I have are for that moment it switches.
Once it finishes, the sync is fine.

As far as my question goes, most of my 4x3 content fills the screens
pefectly on 'Full', but my problem is content that is 4x3 but is only
720x480. It over-zooms and crops part of the 4x3 content when set on
'Full'. What is weird is that it didn't use to do this. Again, I don't
know if it was my upgrade to 0.21 (from 0.20) or if it is something I
changed on my xorg.conf file. But I was hoping someone had an idea if
this is normal or if I did something wrong.
