Hi,

The following patch should correct the issue:

When doublescan mode is in use, scanlines must be doubled.

The patch does fix my problem.  Thank you Samuel.  I really appreciate the 
work you and Antonino have done on this issue.  I look forward to seeing 
this patch in the mainline.
Thanks again,
Jason Dravet
