This video shows how FreeSpire Linux (a legally free to download and free to use operating system) can force wide screen aspect ratio video output (for example: on an LCD, LED, Plasma, or OLED high definition television (HDTV) or on a widescreen monitor) when using a video card graphics chipset adapter that inherently only supports squared 4:3 display aspect ratios. In this case, I confirmed the following on:
FreeSpire 2.0.8 Full-Feisty Slipjack Fiesty 2007 11 29-1746
(Requires installation of FreeSpire 2.0.8 Linux Operating System on hard disk drive before screen resolution settings can take effect)
