If this bug isn't going to be fixed the "correct" way, at least hard code compiz to default to 60Hz. How often is 50Hz really the correct default these days? Mind you, the default stuttery performance with the nvidia binary driver on 14.04 could hardly be called 50Hz. My Amiga 1200 did 50Hz scrolling in the early 1990s and that was extremely smooth, even on a CRT running at 15.6kHz/50Hz.

The problem I am having is that even after I set the refresh rate options in compiz to 60 Hz (after disabling the "Detect Refresh Rate" option), a reboot will have the settings revert. If I change settings in the compiz config settings manager, they should remain even after a reboot. --- .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: u'/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 313.30 Wed Mar 27 16:56:45 PDT 2013 GCC version: gcc version 4.7.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.3-1ubuntu1) .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8.1 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,vpswitch,snap,mousepoll,resize,place,move,wall,grid,regex,imgpng,session,gnomecompat,animation,fade,staticswitcher,workarounds,scale,expo,ezoom,dbus] CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true DistUpgraded: 2013-04-28 10:18:35,447 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: raring DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: NVIDIA Corporation G84M [GeForce 8600M GT] [10de:0407] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:022e] InstallationDate: Installed on 2011-10-16 (611 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) MachineType: Dell Inc.
