[mythtv-users] New intel-graphics-based frontend wont switch frame rates

I've just started using an intel-graphics-based frontend. Generally all 
has gone well. Mostly it works perfectly, but I can't get it to adjust 
frame rate. My memory of how to set it up is hazy. I looked in

	Appearance => Separate Modes for GUI and Video Playback

That dialog is behaving strangely. At first it was offering me a choice 
of 3 modes (640x480, 720x576 and one other I've forgotten). By resetting 
mythfrontend a few times, I got it to offer 1920x1080, but then with no 
other choices (not that I want them, but I know the TV offers more). The 
field "Rate" is also variable. It's usually greyed out, sometimes fixed 
on Auto, sometimes on 0. It did offer me a choice once between Auto and 
50Hz, but never 60 or 24.

I'm hoping I've just missed installing a package. I do have libxrandr 
installed, but perhaps myth controls intel using something else.

Overall this tiny, silent Mini PC looks like it's going to be vastly 
better than my old ION frontend, but I don't think I'm going to be able 
to put up with the rough motion that I get without frame-rate switching.
