This sounds very good for HDTV setups which apparently all imply xorg, but what about DirectFB, does this HUD implementation also work there? Even if I still have a plain old PAL TV at the moment, when I switch to some "SD" channels having only 544x576 (which are then stretched to 720x576), the OSD suffers from the same problem, it's ugly stretched horizontally, and when the channel is 16:9, even worse, compressed vertically.
