Maybe I wasn't clear. :)  The mm sizes returned are correct for my screen.
My screen is 1280x800, it has square pixels (3.85 p/mm), it has a 14.5:9
aspect ratio physically.  Using the current code, I end up with a square
image because my aspect ratio is assumed to be 16:9 since it's not 4:3.
The code sets the video width to 3/4 of the sceen width for 16:9 which
makes the image square on my 14.5:9 screen.
