Hi,

I've just setup a dual head system using xinerama and run into a problem with 
the video display.  MythTv does get the resolutions right on my computer but 
uses the aspect ratio of the desktop (2880x1200) for the video (1600x1200).  
This results in the picture being squashed.

Suggestions or where in the code I should look welcome.
