I am running dual head here with two 17" TFT monitors, both running at 1280x1024. The normal display is fine, but certain applications such as media players (video) and Acrobat Reader seem to be getting confused. Both monitors are set as 4:3 ratio, but the desktop itself isn't 4:3, but 8:3. For Kontact, OO.o etc. this ins't a problem, and Noatun and MPlayer seem to work things out for themselves, but Kaffeine, Totem, Xine and Real make everything looked horizontally stretched - kind of like watching a 4:3 image stretched onto a widescreen TV - which is all well and good, but it stretches a 16:9 image as well to make it 16:9 again, so I end up with something like 32:9 video. I can use MPlayer, but I don't like its controls as much as Kaffeine. Viewing PDF documents in Acrobat is the same, the fonts are the correct height, but twice as wide as they should be, which makes reading long documents hard on the eyes. So, my guess is that somewhere these programs are picking up the information for one monitor as 4:3 and then using that ratio to work out the width of the content somehow. Is there any way I can set this up correctly so that I can see normally ratioed text and video? Cameron Diaz is looking a little podgy and poor Danny De Vito, well, he really is wider than he is tall! Dave
