</div>I did configure it as described in the wiki and it did work with my nVidia card. Now I'm using intel's on-chip graphics but myth doesn't switch the framerate despite the fact I'm playing a 24fps video and xrandr shows a 24fps mode available for my TV.<br>

Even if it did the switch it's still not very useful as most movie videos are 23.97fps and displaying those on a TV in 24Hz mode will get you an extra frame every few seconds and that's what we're trying to avoid.<br>

<br>
</div>xrandr has a option where you can give the name of the timings and it will switch the display accordingly. I can see where it's getting the name from X and matching against the command line value but not where it's begin applied. In any case xrandr is doing something that myth isn't and it's doing it with standard calls.<br>

</div>Well, xrandr is apparently questioning X and parsing the mode name using standard calls and it looks like it's one source program for all platforms so this is definitely possible.<br>
