When DynamicTwinView is enabled (the default), the refresh rate of a mode (reported through XF86VidMode or XRandR) does not correctly report the refresh rate, but instead is a unique number such that each MetaMode has a different value. This is to guarantee that MetaModes can be uniquely identified by XRandR. When DynamicTwinView is disabled, the refresh rate reported through XRandR will be accurate, but NV-CONTROL clients such as nvidia-settings will not be able to dynamically manipulate the X screen's MetaModes. TwinView can still be configured from the X config file when DynamicTwinView is disabled.

The cause of this framerate problem is the DynamicTwinView feature of the NVIDIA graphics driver. It appears to be a documented "feature" of the driver, and has been for several years: --- Quote from the NVIDIA documentation --- Option "DynamicTwinView" "boolean" Enable or disable support for dynamically configuring TwinView on this X screen. When DynamicTwinView is enabled (the default), the refresh rate of a mode (reported through XF86VidMode or XRandR) does not correctly report the refresh rate, but instead is a unique number such that each MetaMode has a different value. This is to guarantee that MetaModes can be uniquely identified by XRandR. When DynamicTwinView is disabled, the refresh rate reported through XRandR will be accurate, but NV-CONTROL clients such as nvidia-settings will not be able to dynamically manipulate the X screen's MetaModes. TwinView can still be configured from the X config file when DynamicTwinView is disabled. Default: DynamicTwinView is enabled. --- End quote --- [http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/280.13/README/xconfigoptions.html] WORKAROUND: (in /etc/X11/xorg.conf) Section "Device"   Option "DynamicTwinView" "False" EndSection If the workaround doesn't work for you and you still see stuttering/jerkiness then you probably have bug 888039, which is caused by other performance regressions in the Ubuntu 11.10 release. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Binary package hint: xorg My Samsung SyncMaster 931BF does actually support 75 hz screen refresh rate, but xorg lets me choose only between 50 Hz and 54 Hz. Modification of /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not help. xorg worked ok on edgy.
