What's interesting is that my TV doesn't give me any options for that.
I can change between 4x3 and 16x9, but it automatically detects the
resolution and displays it in the corner every time it changes. I
guess for now I will be satisfied with 1600x1200 on a 46" LCD, which
is a LOT better than the 1024x768 screen I got on my 32" tube.

Once I get my geforce 8400 and a DVI->HDMI cable, then I'll start
mucking with it again... Though, I've noticed that my ATI 2600 HD on
the masterbackend seems to playback all formats (MP4 transcodes, MPEG2
from PVR150 and cable and MPEG2 from Pinnacle PCTV HD and ATSC)
without any issues or adjustments...

*shrugs*

We'll see next year.

If ANYBODY can see something in my xorg that could be changed, I would
love to know... otherwise I'll just let it be for now. Thanks.
