I have an older PC connected to an HD television over VGA. The set of screen resolutions available for me to use are all 4:3 aspect ratio (or there abouts). Output from xrandr:$ xrandrxrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output defaultScreen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1280 x 960, maximum 1360 x 1024default connected 1280x960+0+0 0mm x 0mm   1280x1024      50.0     54.0     1024x768       51.0     57.0     58.0     800x600        52.0     60.0     61.0     62.0     640x480        53.0     65.0     66.0     67.0     1280x960       55.0*    1152x864       56.0     832x624        59.0     640x512        63.0     64.0     576x432        68.0     512x384        69.0     70.0     71.0     416x312        72.0     400x300        73.0     74.0     75.0     320x240        76.0     77.0     78.0  Is there any way to use one of these resolutions, but treat the pixels as non-square? In much the same way as widescreen SD television image is stored at 720x576 (I'm in a PAL region) but anamorphically stretched to 1024x576; can I treat a resolution of 1280x960 anamorphically as ~1706x960?Note: at present, the image is displayed in widescreen ratio, but this is a fake stretch. A drawing of a circle will display as an ellipse; I would like to utilise the full screen width, but retain the correct proportions for any images on display.In case it affects any possible solutions, I am running Fedora 18, using an nVidia Geforce 5500 FX, Toshiba 37 1080p LCD tv.
Can Xorg use non-square pixels? [or can we fake widescreen in a non-widescreen resolution?]
