[ubuntu] Aspect Ratio on Presario CQ-62

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi How can I preserve the aspect ratio for my laptop whenever I run a game that runs outside the display's native resolution of 1366x768? It looks horrible when stretched. Also, how do I get the system to restore the native resolution once a game has been exited? It tends to stay at the resolution set by the game and I have to reset it manually. Thanks for any help. (Hardware)

Hi,

I have a System76 Wild Dog Performance with an NVidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti. I'm trying to figure out how I can make fullscreen apps (games) maintain proper aspect ratio. I'm using a monitor with 1920x1080 resolution (16:9), and some games appear stretched because they are for example 1024x768 (4:3).

So the funky aspect ratio thing went away, but your resolution is still not being set properly? I upgraded as well and nothing changed for me.

Can someone direct me to an existing discussion, if there is one, about how to install the right aspect ratio or screen resolution on my Dell Mini 9 now that I have Ubuntu 12.04? All the discussions I see are for other hardware. I am not so surefooted with terminal commands in general, though I was able to install the OS, so I am not terrible either.

I am trying to clone 2 displays. I have a laptop with 1440x900 resolution and an external monitor with 1024x768 resolution.

I have openSUSE 11.2 on Asus UL30A laptop which has a 13" 1366x768 16:9 screen but it's stuck in 16:10. No matter what I try in SAX it never changes to a correct aspect ratio. It's not visible with text, but all circles are clearly looking a little oval. Is there any way to change the aspect ration? The KDE Monitor properties doesn't have an aspect ratio option. Thank you.

Hello,

while ripping some of my DVDs for usage on NAS, I get into some trouble regarding the aspect ratio of the output, which I don't understand.

There are two DVDs. When simply playing with

Code: mplayer dvd://SOMETITLE both have the correct aspect ratio of 1.78:1 and a video stream resolution of 720x576 (and thereby are anamorphic videos?!).

Hello, I have a LG Flatron L177WS.

I am having blurred image.

There is a site that diagnosed my problem: my screen aspect ratio is currently 16:9 and my monitor would work better with 16:10.

I have recently upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04.

I use a KVM switch to flip between machines.

Hello,

I have a strange problem. My native resolution is 1366X768, yet every time I restart, the resolution always starts up as 1024X768 without being stretched out -- it has thick black borders on the side. How do I make it remember to start up at the resolution I want?
