Description Ondrej Caletka 2008-02-17 12:14:32 UTC

It is not possible to change default behavior of LVDS-connected display not to stretch  picture to full screen if source resolution aspect ratio is different from display's. So any VESA-standard resolution is distorted.

It would be nice if there were a configuration option, allowing user to select
 a) stretch to full screen (default)
 b) show picture in "native" size, surrounded by black border
 c) (optional) stretch picture to full screen with care for aspect ratio (add letter box / pilar box)

This seems what we want to implement in the new randr.

Jesse, is this releated to #13505?

Comment 2 Michael Fu 2008-02-17 21:15:13 UTC

So called screen scale property?

Comment 3 Jesse Barnes 2008-02-19 10:25:54 UTC

Yeah, this is a dup of 13505.  I agree we need better fitting control, but that'll probably be a 2.3+ feature.
