I'm not sure whether this belongs here or if I should take it to the developers' list. I have been setting up a VIA EPIA MII with MythTv, using a Hauppauge DVB-T tuner card (receiving UK Freeview DTT), and the EPIA's Svideo output (720x576 PAL) connected to a 16:9 PAL TV. My DisplaySize in xorg.conf is set to "400 225". The channels coming from the DVB-T card are in 16:9 anamorphic format, as I would expect, and display correctly on the TV in Wide mode. The UI, however, seems to assume that pixels are always square, so all text is squashed, and plugins like mythweather (haven't given mythgallery any images to test yet) make no attempt to scale images to display correctly.
Changing the DisplaySize option does seem to have an effect on text size, but not on proportions. I can fix some of the text issues by changing to font to a naturally condensed font (like Arial Narrow) but that won't fix graphics. Is there a magic option I have not found yet, or does the UI always assume that pixels are square? If so, then that assumption is never right as long as you are driving a TV at normal PAL or NTSC resolutions - even in 4:3, pixels are not quite square. Richard p.s. I've just subscribed to the list, and I notice that messages from quite a few senders arrive in my inbox without any body text (e.g. any messages from Axel Thimm or Micah Galizia.) I think the common property is that they contain multipart/signed content. Obviously other people are getting the body because they are following up to these messages. Any suggestions?
