Why does the server support 16:9 resolutions but not the client?
The client was designed to run on a secondary computer or monitor. Computer monitors (for the most part) use 4:3 resolutions. The server was designed to support both 4:3 and 16:9 resolutions because you primary display could be an analog television (4:3), a computer monitor (4:3), a HDTV (16:9), a projector (4:3 or 16:9), as well as a number of other options.
