Public bug reported:

Not a software bug but highly annoying.

>From 'man cvt':
OPTIONS
       refresh Provide a vertical refresh rate in kHz.  The CVT standard 
prefers  either  50.0,  60.0,  75.0  or  85.0kHz.   The
               default is 60.0kHz.

Problem:
Unfortunately vertical refresh rates are expressed in Hz, not in kHz.

Ubuntu 12.04 (64bit but I don't think it matters).

Possible package: xorg-server

Note: man pages on the web are also incorrect; e.g.
http://linux.die.net/man/1/cvt

** Affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
