If I remove the xorg completely, everything is fine again. Interestingly enough, in addition I can now suddenly successfully switch to 24p mode using the nvidia-settings. The TV reports that it is in the correct mode. XBMC still won't work though, I assume because it uses xrandr?
Anyone any ideas?
When you run this script, it disables graphics modes that are required for the Unity interface to work. This is why your desktop is limited. You need to log off, and on the Ubuntu login screen, change to Ubuntu Classic. I did it a couple months ago, so I cant remember off the top of my head how to change it, but you can search how to "disable Unity" and it will bring back your desktop toolbars and menus.
As for why your refresh rate doesn't actually change, I have no idea. I gather that it just works for some people and not for others. Thankfully for me, it fixes my refresh rate problem, but not the occasional video skipped frames. This is something I have been dealing with for months, and it bothers me, but not enough for me to stop using it.
