I use awesome window manager 3.5, nvidia driver 313.18, xorg server 1.13.2.
Only TV output is used in this configuration (no dual screen). This is the line from xorg settings used for TV out:
Option "metamodes" "TV: 720x576 { ViewPortOut=640x519+44+26, ViewPortIn=600x450 }"
My TV is old and 600x450 suits for it well. With "ViewPortOut=640x519+44+26" option I adjusted the output to fit the TV screen properly.
xrandr output:
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 600 x 450, maximum 8192 x 8192

The problem is that window manager arranges everything to 720x576 resolution, but not to 600x450. So TV displays 600x450 part of 720x576. The image is limited to 600x450 and cursor is jailed properly to 600x450, but the actual desktop size is 720x576, which I don't need. It means that awesome window manager incorrectly sets it's desktop resolution by monitor resolution instead of screen resolution. As a result - desktop resolution is higher than screen resolution.
(However I tested e16 window manager and it succeeded to use 600x450 correctly. Openbox fails in the same way as awesome.)
Please, help me to make awesome use correct desktop resolution.
