Interlaced resolutions hang the desktop

[Alberto Salvia Novella]

This is why I'm using interlaced:

$ *xrandr*
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
DisplayPort-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-0 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y
axis) 16mm x 9mm
   1920x*1080i*    60.00*+  50.00    59.94
   1920x1080     *24.00*    23.98
   1280x*720*      60.00    50.00    59.94
   1024x768      75.03    70.07    60.00
   832x624       74.55
   800x600       72.19    75.00    60.32    56.25
   720x576       50.00
   720x576i      50.00
   720x480       60.00    59.94
   720x480i      60.00    59.94
   640x480       75.00    72.81    66.67    60.00    59.94
   720x400       70.08
DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

I think the driver should only support resolutions that are *progressive*,
but also at least of *50Hz*.
