issue with lcd as DMD setup

Discussed in https://github.com/orgs/missionpinball/discussions/122

^{Originally posted by borgdog November 28, 2023}
I'm setting up a lcd screen to have the DMD look at 192x64 size, following the instructions on this page https://missionpinball.org/mc/displays/adding_dot_look_to_lcd/

I was having trouble, so reduced my code down to just what that page shows but at the resolutions I want (plus stuff to actually run). It seems the part where it says "We do not set the number of dots in the DMD here, as that's automatically pulled in from the dmd display setting." is not working. If I don't define the number of dots then it does 128 wide and whatever tall fits in the window. Adding in dots_x and dots_y in the color_dmd slide with the appropriate values and everything works.

So, but in the code maybe? something changed where it doesn't work anymore?

my test config.yaml below, using latest dev (mpf 0.57.0.dev32, mpf-mc 0.57.0dev12)
