refresh rate too low - max 60 mhz

[Caroline Ford]

Binary package hint: x11-xserver-utils

This bug has been filed by system testing. I don't know if this is the correct package. I've already filed it against nvidia.

Maximum refresh rate is 60 Mhz which makes the system uncomfortable to use. Just upgraded from jaunty to karmic.

(Made the bug against nvidia a dupe of this one)

xrandr.txt has

1440x900 (0x143) 64.8MHz *current
        h: width 1440 start 0 end 0 total 1440 skew 0 clock 45.0KHz
        v: height 900 start 0 end 0 total 900 clock 50.0Hz

Loaded vista which also has a low refresh rate when I looked at the
figures. 59 was what it was set at and was useable. 60 was horrible -
bright and headache inducing. Don't understand really..

The system testing tool does not provide adequate information for troubleshooting this kind of bug. Since you already filed one against nvidia, that is enough. Note though that because it is a closed source proprietary codebase, it is unlikely the bug report will get attention.
