3) Option "ScaleType" documentation in the man page: a) center means not to scale but center the image on the panel i.e. apply a black frame around the image on the panel in case the panel resolution is lower than the one of the external display. here "in case the panel resolution is lower than the one of the external display." should be changed to "if the resolution of the external display is lower than the panel resolution." (the same of the "none" mode).
Good catch. I guess the whole option should be reworded, though.
b) the difference between "default" and "none"/"center" is not very clear to me; are "none"/"center" supposed to modify aspect ratio?
none and center don't change the pixel aspect, as pixels are transfered 1:1. So the aspect ratio depends on the original aspect ratio and the pixel aspect of the panel (which typically is 1:1).
c) the "scale_keep_aspect_ratio" comment is not very clear.
I'm not exactly sure how this can be explained better.
I don't like the mentioning of the "external screen" - have to discuss
this with Egbert.
