pillarboxing in the OS for widescreen monitors

This is mostly a note for myself to try when I get my NuCore setup, but I thought I'd mention it here rather than just emailing it to myself in case it helps anyone else. The following command (typed in a terminal window in Ubuntu) should fix the problem with the image getting stretched on a widescreen monitor without having to mess with the monitor's positioning settings:
xrandr --output VGA1 --set "scaling mode" "Full aspect"
If that doesn't work then there may be a better --set option that gives more precise control over the aspect ratio, but I'm having trouble finding documentation for this function...
