However, by default the video is scaled to fill the panel. This causes the image to be distorted (fonts look bad, etc).</p> <p>On Linux (with Xorg, anyway), this behaviour can be tweaked with xrandr:</p> <pre><code>$ xrandr --output LVDS1 --set &quot;scaling mode&quot; &quot;Center&quot; </code></pre> <p>This is not a persistent setting, which is fine for my purposes.</p>
