Ging 0.1.0 Linux - Forcing widescreen aspect ratios on video cards that inherently only support 4:3

The aspect ratio calculator used in this video is available free of charge and directly in your browser (no software install needed) from:

This video shows how a Linux LIVE CD (a legally free to download and free to use operating system that requires no installation to the hard drive and rather operates directly from booting from the burnt CD-R disc in a CD-ROM) 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:
