+ use widescreen resolution with r_mode -1, r_customwidth and r_customheight. Then there's also r_customaspect, but I don't know if it works in ET. 0 is supposed to be 4:3, 1 is supposed to be 16:10 (most widescreens) and 2 is supposed to be 16:9 (fullHD)

like he said except you can leave r_mode set to whatever, for custom aspects you set
r_customaspect "1"

then
r_customwidth <value>
r_customheight <value>

to fit any screen

I used r_mode -1 but I guess that works too

For keeping it in the proper aspect I went into the nVidia drivers (idk what you have, ATi or nVidia) but anyways under one of the settings you can tell it to not scale the image when using a resolution smaller their your monitor's native which keeps it in the same aspect ratio and screen size etc. its just a box in the middle of black on the screen. Its not ideal but it works
