I am using the 304.43 Nvidia drivers on my Mythbuntu 12.04 setup, and
I just checked and I have the same problem.  But the documentation
still lists the "Scaling" option, and it is a pretty important
feature, so I am hoping that this is just a bug and will eventually be
fixed.  But maybe we should be filing a bug report with Nvidia.
