Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

When I use KMS on my notebook with 16:10 LVDS, Xorg defaults to
fullscreen scaling mode. That causes incorrect aspect ratio for non-
native 4:3 modes (they are scaled to 16:10).

After running `xrandr --output LVDS1 --set "scaling mode" Aspect` is
works as without KMS. E.g. 4:3 modes are displayed with black bar on
sides.

This default setting is especially  annoying when running fullscreen
games and is hard to solve for unexperienced users.
