Thanks for the suggestion. The picture that's showing up is the
correct 4:3 ratio, it's just showing smaller than it should be. I'm
having some trouble getting my video card to do a widescreen mode so
I'm just going to start with a normal mode that I know works.

The GUI is showing up the correct size, it's just the TV that's zoomed
out almost. I tried changing to 800x600 to see if that would help but
the video still ends up the same size, zoomed out.
