For those interested, I've worked on this (using the patch mentioned
earlier as a starting point)

It now lets MythTV handles non-integer refresh rates (like 23.976Hz,
59.94Hz etc).

Also gives a mechanism to use Nvidia refresh rate. Nvidia drivers by
default assign a unique refresh rate for all resolution rather than
the actual rate: making it impossible to determine what the
appropriate rate really is

The format of the refresh rate configuration file doesn't appear
properly in Trac as it changed all the formatting, it would be like
this:
--
#50 - "1920x1080 at 50"
#51 - "1920x1080 at 60"
#52 - "1920x1080 at 24"
#53 - "1920x1080 at 23.976"
#54 - "1920x1080 at 50i"
#55 - "1920x1080 at 60i"
#56 - "1920x1080 at 59.94"
#57 - "1920x1080 at 59.94i"
#1920x1080 mode:
1920,1080,50,50
1920,1080,60,51
1920,1080,24,52
1920,1080,23.976,53
1920,1080,59.94,56
1920,1200,60,50

My Ubuntu / VDPAU package in testing include this mod.
