I should have notice already when you talked about screenshots but it's
wasn't clear to me that you weren't referring to Ogles built-in screen

Without Xv(ideo) support you don't get any scaling at all under Linux
using Ogle.  

What chip/model graphics card do you have?  Your config file just has

working.  Also the command xvinfo should print out lots of info when
things are setup correctly.
