If anyone having problems using this function this is how i made it work.
First think is that this function is only in SVN versions, so you need to compile xbmc.
To make xbmc correctly detect your LCD'S refresh rates, insert this line into your xorg.conf:
Option "Dynamictwinview" "False
To make xbmc able to change refresh rates i entered into nvidia-settings utility and set the force gpu scaling to off and chose centered timing.
Now in xbmc all you need to do is choose a full screen resolution and set the autorefresh rate in videosettings.
What i found is that it is not working with integrated video cards. For me it makes not enough fps to keep the LCD's 60 or 50 hz. Maybe it is some memory bandwidth problem.
Edit:
If you have any other integrated graphics you should have the memory modules configured in dual channel mode !! This way it could work.
You can veify the refresh rates by ressing "z" while playing a movie, or pressing "S" in menu then press info.
Anyone knows where nvidia-settings keep the settings made in gui. i know there is a hidden file in /home folder, called .nvidia-settings-rc but i can not find it in XBMC Live version.
What are your expreiences ?
