Wed 02 Jun 2010 09:50:10 AM UTC, comment #8: Well, sometimes the autodetection is wrong. Especially in a setup with two monitors used at the same time (you know, each with different video output) it happens that the cummulated size of both monitors is detected. Or the soze of the "wrong" monitor is taken of the wrong monitor. Because of this, I wanted to check that.

Wed 02 Jun 2010 09:10:39 AM UTC, comment #5: Ok, I compiled 3.6.90 (x86_64). The bug appears not to be fixed. The screen size is auto-filled, and is saved to ~/.gv when saving the setup options. Quitting and starting gv then loads the saved screen size from ~/.gv. This won't work when using a different monitor, e.g. remote logins.

Wed 02 Jun 2010 08:46:35 AM UTC, comment #3: Thanks Markus - splendid! That was the problem, I must have logged in from another computer with a 5:4 monitor and saved the setup. Deleting the GV.screenSize_... lines from ~/.gv solves the problem as the value is auto-filled from xdpyinfo when absent. Aspect ratio follows that value exactly. |

Sun 30 May 2010 02:31:58 PM UTC, comment #1: We believe that the bug you reported has been fixed with version 3.6.5.90. Is there any possibility that you try a newer version of GNU gv? Actually GNU gv 3.6.90 is available on ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gv . It's released on alpha.gnu.org because translations are missing, but the release itself is stable.

When using a widescreen monitor, the rendered screen display is stretched horizontally.

A partial fix is available in GNU gv 3.7.1.90: Remote ssh connections now have a separate ~/.gv entry for the aspect ratio.
