The webcam program Cheese is also impacted.  According to a recent edit
to the AspireOne pages of the Ubuntu Community Docs :

"A workaround for this is to force it with xrandr --fbmm 195x113. This
can be made persistent by creating a script /etc/gdm/Init/:0 containing:

#!/bin/sh
xrandr --fbm 195x113

Make it executable with chmod 755 /etc/gdm/Init/:0. "

I can confirm this works, much better than the workaround I sort of
derived myself with some info I found about DPI.

Apparently the cause is not quite what I assumed (I'm no expert, just
trying to let somebody know there is a problem).  I'd take this to the
right place if I understood the situation better, in specific what
module is bugged.  Clearly something is wrong, somewhere.  Any ideas
more specifically with this new information/workaround?

Acer AspireOne xorg defaults to 58x135 dpi instead of 96x96 so video playback aspect ratio (avi, etc) is incorrect
