Hi Lem, Thanks for the info. It's good info to know this is Nvidia specific.
The code to force Nvidia to 60Hz uses a glVendor string of "NVIDIA" only. I'm wondering if that string is different depending on the card/driver/something else. Could you attach the output of "/usr/lib/nux/unity-support-test -p"? If that fails, then a dump of glxinfo should do it.

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.
