Yeah, I was actually working on the config changes when you committed 
the resolution switching changes. The idea was to let the user pick from 
the available resolutions instead of having to know the valid 
resolutions. Since I had to change DisplayRes anyway I decided to clean 
it up and allow setting the refresh rate as well. Since I run MythTV 
on my desktop, this lets me use a high refresh rate when I'm not 
watching TV but switch to 60Hz at the same resolution when I'm watching 
TV, for less jittery playback. Then I also changed the aspect ratio 
override to select between "4:3" and "16:9" instead of expecting the 
user to know the aspect ratio and select the "alternate aspect ratio" 
this also allows us to support other aspect ratios, like say DVD the 
aspect ratio...
