[mythtv] nVidia screen switching

For many years nVidia has seen my displays as a single X-screen 0 having
two adjacent sections; a 60 Hz vga monitor and a 50 Hz hdmi TV. I have
steered the picture from the command line by running either
'mythfrontend', which gives a windowed 1024x576+64+64 display on the
monitor, or 'mythfrontend -nw --geometry 1920x1080+1680+0' which puts it
on the TV. It works well and the ALSA:default virtual audio device can
give sound from either or both sets sets of speakers.
But although it all works, current master seems slightly confused by
this arrangement, and on startup in either mode the 'Display: available
modes' section shows xrandr values that relate to the monitor, not the
TV. Should I just be quiet about it :-) ?
