Vincent Povirk, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

If I change the display mode (or a program changes it) to a 4:3 resolution, the resulting image is stretched. I'm expecting letterboxing instead, as described here: http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/3.3/look-resolution.html.en If there's a setting I can change, I would settle for that, but I didn't find anything obvious in the GUI. Nonetheless, I think preserving correct aspect ratio should be the default, especially since I am using GNOME (Ubuntu GNOME Remix) and their documentation agrees with it.
