Did you upgrade nVidia drivers? I also have "Any" selected for
the GUI refresh rate and I seem to recall that an upgrade of nVidia
drivers is what caused my MythTV system to start making unnecessary mode
changes -- something about the way the new drivers supplied video mode
information.
I've been using the attached patch to fix the problem.
Unfortunately, I can't remember now whether I actually found a problem
in the myth code or whether this was just a workaround.
