It's a very long time since I looked at it - but there is code in
Myth's videoout 'portions' which attempts to get the refresh rate for
the display but when that fails (there is no refresh rate for a
digitally connected LCD Panel) defaults to 60Hz. If I recall there is
a second place where this reported value is then multiplied by a
constant (I thought 4 - but that doesn't make sense given the reported
value of 150Hz).
Some of this may be different if you're using the CoreVideo output
mechanism which I wrote some months ago but I don't think was ever
committed - is it possible that Andrew G & Todd are not running the
same videout device (CoreVideo vs. 'standard'). The reported refresh
rates may be different between these two approaches (see para. 1 above).
I apologize for the vagueness of the response - it's been some months
since I looked at any of this Myth code.
