Comment (by danielk):

 Have you tried setting the Display size in the monitor section of your
 xorg.conf file?
 {{{
 Section "Monitor"
    DisplaySize  521 324 # in millimeters
    #other stuff
 EndSection
 }}}

 The AspectOverride overides the aspect ratio of the _video_ stream, it
 does not adjust the _display_ aspect ratio. X11 assumes you have square
 pixels unless the monitor itself reports otherwise, or you tell it
 otherwise with the DisplaySize
 setting.

 But it does seem like there is something wrong with your letterbox modes.
 See if you can still reproduce this after setting the display aspect
 ratio.

 BTW If you MythTV's XRandR or Xinerama support, you should set the aspect
 ratio in the configs for those instead, X server doesn't tell MythTV about
 the display size correctly in those cases.
