wrong poster size with xelatex
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compile with xelatex.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The generated pdf is expected to be of a0 size, but with xelatex the pdf page
covers only the top-left corner.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
MiKTeX 2.9 on Windows 7 x64
Please provide any additional information below.
I suspect that this has something to do with geometry or font setup. I tried
with giving xetex as driver for geometry in baposter.cls, but no success.

I figured out, based on a post on the Internet regarding a different issue,
this is due to a bug in pgfpages. Perhaps the author may add the following into
baposter.cls following \usepackage{pgfpages}:
\usepackage{ifxetex}
\ifxetex
\renewcommand\pgfsetupphysicalpagesizes{%
\pdfpagewidth\pgfphysicalwidth\pdfpageheight\pgfphysicalheight%
}
\fi

Sorry, I have no idea what xetex is, and how it interacts with pgfpages.

@Brian Amberg: XeTeX is a newer LaTeX compiler, with (among other improvements)
much better support for using non-default fonts. It's included in most major
TeX distributions, including TeX Live, MiKTeX and MacTeX
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XeTeX
And I can also confirm that inserting
\usepackage{ifxetex}
\ifxetex
\renewcommand\pgfsetupphysicalpagesizes{%
\pdfpagewidth\pgfphysicalwidth\pdfpageheight\pgfphysicalheight%
}
\fi
directly following \usepackage{pgfpages} solves this problem.
