[MPlayer-users] [BUG] Monitor aspect is fixed, should be variable

[Hans Korneder]

In file libvo/aspect.c the monitor aspect is fixed to
 float monitor_aspect=4.0/3.0;
This causes distorted images on other monitors
(like the 16:9 I'm currently using).

A way to correct this is using the X11-macros
 DisplayWidthMM(mDisplay,mScreen)
resp.
 DisplayHeightMM(mDisplay,mScreen)

I did this in the beginning of the 
 static uint32_t config(...)
in libvo/vo_xv.c and libvo/vo_x11.c
by calling a (new) function 
 m_a = ... DisplayWidthMM(...)/DisplayHeightMM(...);
 aspect_save_monitor(m_a);
which I defined in aspect.c as follows:
 void aspect_save_monitor(double m_a){
  monitor_aspect = m_a;
  }

Currently I'm using the source from CVS dated
20030827.

I think that this (or a similar) fix should be
included in future releases.

Keep on hacking!
