 X.org will correctly scale the screen to a lower resolution without doing a nasty widescreen stretch on my laptop with a 1280x800 display, however opengl apps running at older, 4:3 resolutions stretch. I know the nvidia drivers for linux have a setting you can place in your x configuration file to prevent this, but my laptop has an ATI card and uses the proprietary fglrx driver from ATI. Is there any setting I can tweak to force my opengl apps to preserve aspect ratio?
