[mythtv-users] Incorrect Refresh with Nvidia 361.28 - Long

I am posting again on this after a long time, as I have some time to look
at this again, and I want to switch to a GTX 1050 video card, which
requires the latest drivers.
I think the problem is that every version of Nvidia driver higher than
352.21 does not seem to provide info via Dynamic Twinview whan only one
screen is connected.
I tried the following with no effect:
GLVND and Non GLVND ( --no-glvnd-egl-client --no-glvnd-glx-client on Nvidia
install command line )
Trying to enable dynamic twinview even with only one screen connected
(Option "nvidiaXineramaInfo" "TRUE" in the Device section of xorg.conf ).
The default with one screen is to disable dynamic twinview. I am not sure
how to tell if it actually was enabled.
The difference I see in the mythtv log is it gets the rate from Dynamic
Twinview when it works and does not when it fails.
A workaround is to choose "Separate video modes for gui and tv playback"
and choose a refresh of 51 on the Mythtv setup screen, which is 60p.
If I don't select "Separate video modes for gui and tv playback" or do and
choose Auto refresh, it uses 50i or whatever is set before running mythtv,
which does not seem to always be the same. Also, there is tearing.
Any new ideas on this? Is it correct that if dynamic twinview is not
available, Mythv cannot determine the correct mode to get a specific
refresh rate? I also think some of the available info on this is outdated.
Thanks,
Mark
