Figured that meanwhile, too. Still comes up at 60. Beats me. I wrote a little 
script for mplayer to register and set modes depending on the video so that 
works for me.

Actually I got bigger problems like xv not properly working... and vmware not 
working on the .39+ kernels intel needs... and debian testing being the only 
dist with at leat 2.15 and otherwise being a total bitch about almost 
anything.. and me not getting mplayer to apply the compressor plugins for 
dts... 
Actually, right now about *all* these problems could be solved by moving the 
machine to Win7.
