The only time mythfrontend will ever change the display settings is if
you enable Xrandr by enabling:
Separate video modes for GUI and TV playback
Switch X Window video modes for TV. Requires "xrandr" support.
Mike, thanks for the note. I figured this was the case, and I disabled
this setting, but mythfrontend has continued to change the X
settings. Any idea why?
