I have a similar problem with Mythbuntu on my GT70 laptop with the
Nvidia drivers on the Nvidia GPU. So far the only fix I have found is
to swap to a command prompt running from the current display and run
the command "xrandr --auto". I do not have the problem when I am
using the Intel GPU (but then I do not get full deinterlacing).
