I'm pretty sure the refresh rate changing is working for me. I have an issue where whenever I bring up the resolution info screen by pressing z on the keyboard XBMC locks up tight. Log at http://pastebin.com/m3a8ad844
I've also noticed that the video starts to stutter when bringing up the Codec info by pressing o.
Things seem pretty stable for me using ATI, but I have the Vsync patch that makes use of Vsync related changes that were introduced around Catalyst 9.1. See http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/5951 (ATI Linux driver 9.1 supports glXSwapIntervalSGI , works great for XBMC) for more information. Since this smoothvideo branch relies on VSync stuff perhaps some other ATI users could try the patch as well and see whether that improves current behaviour.
Sometimes the AV Sync gets way out >5s after skipping and that's when things go bad.
I just watched most of the Transformers movie with this branch and it was stable and smooth for pretty much all of the movie (including the audio).
