[mythtv-users] Skewed text and video display on widescreen 5120x1440

[Alain]

Hi,

   I've just moved to a wide display (screen), 5120x1440, and 
mythfrontend doesn't like it a bit. I set mythfrontend's window size to 
1920x1080 for my tests.  If I change the screen size down to 3840x1080, 
then mythfrontend displays fine. I've tested using two different themes, 
both with qt and openGL as renderers.

   The texts end up stretched wide and squashed vertically and too big. 
The video's are squashed vertically to the center of the display.


   I'm not sure where to go from there. The command I used:

/bin/mythfrontend -nw -geometry 1920x1080+3520+360 -v 
frame\,gpu\,gpuvideo\,gui\,osd --loglevel debug

    Then I did a diff on the output when this command was ran using 
using the different display resolutions and this is what I got (qt as 
renderer):
