On my desktop, I never run videos full-screen. A 39" diagonal screen at 24" is just too overwhelming. I don't care that the YouTube content is stored at 60Hz. Something adjusts it. I think -- I just don't do this much.
In the old days, there was an key sequence that got X to cycle through the mode settings. I've not really needed it for years since I always want LCDs run at the native resolution when possible. But your use case makes sense. Does that key sequence still exist? (By default, "they" removed the key sequences for shutting down X and for shutting down the machine.)
No idea. I just figure it ought to do what I told it and not try to outsmart me. I tried to setup autorandr to fix it automatically, but I can't remember if I got it working or not.
I'm pretty sure you still use X because I know you favour Nvidia GPUs and that almost demands the proprietary driver. (My desktop is in the same boat because of a bargain I scored over eight years ago.)
Yeah I don't even know if mythtv runs on anything other than X11 yet. And the machine has an nvidia card in it (used to be a GTX 275 in that machine until it decided to fuse itself to the PCIe slot of the motherboard, now it is a GTX 660 Ti that I had meant to build a game machine with years ago and never got around to it). -- Len Sorensen
