[mythtv-users] Separate resolution for GUI and video

Hello all,

when using separate resolutions for GUI (720p) and video (1080p), the 
video mode is indeed changed to 1080, but the displayed video is not 
scaled to full screen. Instead, the 720p resolution is used. Could this 
be a bug or a configuration issue on my part?

I'm on mythbuntu with JYA's stable ppa. Video HW is a Radeon HD 3200 
with xorg-edgers X stack and current DRM/KMS.

Since I think the question might come up: I would *really* like to use 
720p for the GUI because I frequently like to use the Web-Browser and a 
console window. With 1080 the window controls (xfce/gtk) are very tiny, 
so 720p is much more usable. Also, playing flash with flashplugin 10.2 
and 1080p is no fun at all.

Thanks in advance for any hints, tips or pointers!

Marius
