New xine aspect ratio issue

Hi all, I've got an MD connected to a LCD TV with a standard VGA cable. I used to have issues with the aspect ratio while playing movies, but this was fixed by entering the display size in the xorg.conf, as mentioned before. After a recent dist-upgrade it has started again. The display size info is still in the xorg.conf and hasn't been overwritten.

The movie files always start out as 16:9 aspect ratio, and need to be manually changed to 4:3. The screen resolution is 1024 x 768, the UI is V2 Normal Horizontal 16:9. Xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Monitor0"
        DisplaySize     697 392
        VendorName      "AWA"
        ModelName       "LTW32DS"
        Modeline        "1024x768" 60.80 1024 1056 1128 1272 768 768 770 796
#       HorizSync       20-500
        HorizSync       68.677
#       VertRefresh     59-61
        VertRefresh     84.997

Is there anywhere I can manually force the aspect ratio? Other than the update, the TV and MD are the same.

I have also tried:
DisplaySize     400 300

seems to make no difference, anyone got any ideas on forcing default aspect ratio for movie playback?
