I just wanted to mention that the problem still exists. As the desktop shows like expected I guess it has something to do with the overlay settings. Any ideas how to fix this issue?

Forget my last email. I was able to change the desktop resolution by creating an xorg.conf file:
sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "VIA Chrome"
Driver "openchrome"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Epson EMP-TW700"
Modeline "1280x720" 74.50 1280 1344 1472 1664 720 723 728 748 -hsync -vsync
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Epson EMP-TW700"
Device "VIA Chrome"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x720"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Identifier "VIA Chrome"
Driver "openchrome"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Epson EMP-TW700"
Modeline "1280x720" 74.50 1280 1344 1472 1664 720 723 728 748 -hsync -vsync
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Epson EMP-TW700"
Device "VIA Chrome"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x720"
EndSubSection
EndSection
sudo reboot
Unfortunately when I now maximize my video player when it plays 16:9 videos left and right side are cropped (screenshot attached). Unfortunately the screenshot does not work properly either but you can guess what I mean because the section where the video image should be is slightly brighter.
My compressed xorg.log was rejected for the mailing list because of size.

My fault, sorry. the randr call should have read :
xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1280x720
Use plain 'xrandr' to get a list of all supported modes.
'man xrandr' for more details.
Also, it might be easier to use some desktop applet rather than the
command line to use RandR.

Xavier
