Comment(by markk):

 Finally found some time to dig into this.

 Firstly, while testing I've noticed some strange behaviour when using
 nvidia-settings to change the screen setup. When switching between
 xinerama/twinview setups, the screen dimensions are often not reset until
 X is restarted. As a result the screen dimensions can be wildly inaccurate
 and I have reproduced the squashed video effect you've described.

  - can you please confirm exactly how you're setting up xinerama. from
 your description it sounds as if you may be adjusting dynamically. if so,
 can you try restarting X and seeing if that fixes it (you may need to run
 sudo nvidia-settings).

 Secondly, there appear to be some issues with how Qt deals with multi-
 screen setups. I don't know if this is new to Qt4.5 but under certain
 setups it gets it all wrong.

  - can you please attach an updated log of 'mythfrontend -v
 playback,extra'. That extra debug will give some additional xinerama
 detail when mythfrontend is started.

 thnks, Mark
