<div class="im">With mplayer, you'll have to change the refresh rate *before* starting mplayer</div>
Use xrandr -r <refresh_rate><br>
<br>
it you type xrandr alone, you'll see the list of refresh rate available<br>
<br>
I wrote a wmplayer script, that first check the refresh rate of the<br>
video you want to play, then call xrandr appropriately.<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Fantastic stuff - thanks for that. I tinkered with my xorg considerably last night and pulled out all the modelines for 1080p at 24/50/60hz and various other settings so I will try your script to see if I can finalise mplayer.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I also played with Myth to use a separate resolution for GUI and playback. It was switching resolution (my screen blinks indicating a new resolution has been set) but while watching Live TV I had a mouse pointer planted centrally on the screen that I could not move. Is this something you've seen before?</div>
