Title:
screen is distorted if aspect ratio does not match the native
resolution
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
My laptop has a 16:9 display. If I change the display mode (or a
program changes it) to a 4:3 resolution, the resulting image is
stretched.
I'm expecting letterboxing instead, as described here:
http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/3.3/look-resolution.html.en
If there's a setting I can change, I would settle for that, but I
didn't find anything obvious in the GUI. Nonetheless, I think
preserving correct aspect ratio should be the default, especially
since I am using GNOME (Ubuntu GNOME Remix) and their documentation
agrees with it.
