[mythtv-users] Mythfrontend GUI shown in resolution of 320x175.

I have a problem with my frontend running mythbuntu 0.23.1 PPA daily
build (based on 0.23-fixes) that started after a restarting the PC.

Mythfrontend launches as a fullscreen with resolution of 320x175. This
is not even enough to see the menu, let alone try a different theme or
setting... When playing a video, the resolution changes to 1920x1080
as it should.

When exiting mythfrontend, it changes back to 1920x1080 - the expected
resolution.

I'm running Mythbuntu Lucid with an nvidia 9500GT video card and the
default 195 nvidia driver. My TV is a recent-ish Sony Bravia with
1080p resolution.

Up until today, this setup has been working fine. I only changed from
the 0.23 PPA to 0.23.1 PPA a few days ago.

Frontend log shown below. Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,
Justin.
