Different screen settings for different video resolutions?

In previous versions of Myth there was a feature to allow for different X
modelines to be used for different video resolutions. I just upgraded to
7738 and found that feature missing. Is this still possible through other
means? I'd like to switch down to 960x540 for SDTV and switch up to
1920x1080 for HDTV.



Thanks, Mark.

The setting is:

Separate video modes for GUI and TV playback
Switch X Window video modes for TV. Requires "xrandr" support.

But it's only available if you compiled Myth with Xrandr support. If you
don't have the option, your Myth was compiled without it.

Thanks for your reply. My compile included randr but since my X was started
with xinerama it seems randr was disabled - thus disabling randr. I turned
off xinerama and all is well.. sorta.
