I do not have the Monitor Aspect Ratio option being displayed (and
have Video Aspect Override set to Off) because I was using the latest
fixes release - in desperation I am currently running a trunk build
via mythbuntu.org.  I have the same problem whatever I try - when I
look in Xorg.0.log it says "DPI set to (100,100); computed from -dpi X
commandline option".  It appears to ignore the DisplaySize entry in
xorg.conf it is not even mentioned as being read in the Xorg.0.log
file?
