1) Can not set any frequency
2) Btw, this trivial patch makes debug information more usable, please include it.

Reproduce:

1. start the program
2. click Test on the values that where set as default
3. you get the error message that this mode does not work
4. Following debug information is generated (with my trivial patch)

hsync range 0: 30.00 - 83.00
vsync range 0: 56.00 - 76.00

Hi limcore,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? (ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/)

If it remains an issue, could you also attach a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
Thanks in advance.

Now on Ubuntu 9.10 still it seems I can not set any resolution with this tool (seems unusable for me).
