<div>
But the GUI doesn't seem to recognise my 60Hz setting upon startup since the update described. I liked this setting for a really smooth GUI experience (not just in Myth but all programmes). At 1080i I seem to get those awful deinterlace-style lines through the Myth GUI, which only goes away after playing the first recording. Once I close Myth, my display reverts to 60Hz for all other programmes.</div>

<div><br></div><div>I only have 3 modelines in my xorg, 1080p@60, 1080p@50, and 1080p@24. These will actually refresh correctly for 59.94 and 23.97 rates too. If the display receives any signal that does not fit these refresh rates, it defaults to 1080i@50Hz, which is what I am seeing until I play the first recording or close Myth.</div>
</div><br><div>I understand that no part of the GUI is interlaced, but from that update onwards as Mythfrontend is initially opened my display does not seem to interpret the signal as any recognised refresh rate and so changes to 1080i. This results in jagged lines on every application displayed my pc, including the desktop if I minimise Myth. But I know it is not being sent from the pc that way, because a screen capture taken at this time and viewed once Myth is closed appears normal (as does everything once Myth is closed or a recording is played). </div>
