  If these are funny screen sizes, then I've probably missed something.
My reading of the code was that it just queries the X server for the
horizontal and vertical display size and then divides one into the other
to get the aspect ratio. All of the above should give the magic number
16/9.

  Based on the fact that xdpyinfo didn't report the screen size to be
the values I was putting into xorg.conf, I'm assuming there is some
rounding happening inside the X server and those rounded values are what
myth is getting back and using to calculate the display aspect.
