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...
