I've noticed this on 0.23-fixes as well.  I've got MythtTV switching
refresh rate but it does not switch resolution.

I have a Toshiba 55SV670u (120Hz, 1080p) and it keeps 1080p regardless
of the video resolution.  It does however switch the refresh rate to
match what I'm watching.

I've tried using modelines but that has made no change.  The EDID
seems to report the correct refresh rates that are supported so I
don't bother keeping modelines in my xorg.conf.
