Just the CFReleases, right? I thought they would be needed,
but adding them caused the app to crash somewhere in CoreGraphics
when opening the screen, so it looks like they shouldn't be there.
Yep, I guess those arrays are owned by the framework.
2a) GetNumberOfXineramaScreens() could easily be replaced
with Qt's QApplication::desktop()->numScreens(),
which also works on OS X, Windows, et c.
I kept this, my reasoning was in the last reply, basically I don't think Qt distinguishes between Xinerama screens, virtual screens, and virtual desktops properly.
2b) I was trying to keep util.cpp as a set of "utility"
sort of code (i.e. OS and file sort of stuff), hence the
removal of the X11 specific stuff in my multiscreen patch.
GetDisplayModes() maybe belongs elsewhere?
(But mythcontext is getting crowded,
so I don't know where else to put it)
I removed everything but the GetNumberOfXineramaScreens(), I just don't know where it would go. Maybe we need a x11-utils.h? or a xinerama-utils.h?
I've attached a patch that should also fix some of John Poet's problems. That is, we now try to get the old style GUI video mode, and if this doesn't work, we default to 640x480. This means you shouldn't end up in some video mode that is just barely supported by your monitor.

I gave this patch a try against today's CVS. Unfortunately, it does not work too well for me.
When I *first* start up mythfrontend, *all* I can see is the very top left of the GUI. That part of the GUI fills the screen, but everything is soo large that all I can see is the top menu item and part of the second menu item. If I blindly navigate to Setup->Appearances, and then just ENTER through all the submenues, the screen is re-scaled and looks the way it is supposed to. It obviously knows that I desire a 888x500 resolution, but does not initialized it correctly when mythfrontend first starts up. I am using the Titvillus theme.
For HD content, it is configured to resize the display to 1920x540p and use BOB. When I try to watch a HD program, it appears to resize the X properly, but video is masked such that I can only see the left 40% of the show. The right 60% of the screen shows my X desktop.
