[Bug 157623] Re: displayconfig-gtk and gnome-display-properties show incorrect refresh rate options
I think it makes sense to just add that option to xorg.conf when the nvidia module is activated in restricted driver manger. After I activated the module under hardy, it asked me to reboot and after restarting it changed my resolution and refresh rate to really unusable values. -- displayconfig-gtk and gnome-display-properties show incorrect refresh rate options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157623 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It's only a minor annoyance, just use nvidia-settings to change your resolution and refresh rate. or know that 50 and 51 hz are really just ID numbers not hertz values. -- displayconfig-gtk and gnome-display-properties show incorrect refresh rate options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157623 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

ok well: Option DynamicTwinView False (in the device section of xorg.conf) works well... this should be the default for single monitor nvidia setups.

[Bug 157623] Re: displayconfig-gtk and gnome-display-properties show incorrect refresh rate options
Following the information posted in the 2 forum links I posted above: The DynmaicTwinView option defaults to ON as of nvidia driver 96xx and newer. The effect of DynamicTwinView is (detailed in the driver README) such that the refresh rates are reported incorrectly as id numbers instead of hz values. This works ok if you use the nvidia-settings application which is designed to get the actual hz values from the driver. If DynamicTwinView is enabled, other then ids as hz values, the driver can support connecting say a TV dynamically and setup it's refresh rate separate from the other screen, through what it calls metamodes, for details, the README of the driver is freely available. In the first forum link I specified, Nvidia technicians have posted saying that this is the default behaviour and will not be changed. So either Ubuntu's display settings pop-up continues to display incorrect hz values, which is fine, since these are closed source drivers (which I know are unsupported.) On the other hand, if you want to enable desktop effects, you have to use the drivers. If you then go to Screen Resolution or Screens and Graphics, your refresh rates are incorrect. Perhaps if the user is already using the restricted drivers, we could also have a link to the nvidia-settings on the menu? I don't know what is the best solution to this? perhaps doing nothing? As far as how wide spread the issue is... 1. Only effects nvidia graphics card users 2. Only effects a subset of those users that want desktop-effects, or 3d support. 3. Only effects a subset of those users that don't edit their xorg.conf and use the default of DynamicTwinView ON 4. Only effects a subset of those users that use displayconfig-gtk or gnome-display-properties to change their refresh rate. So, it will effect anyone that uses the restricted drivers manager to install nvidia, does not edit their xorg.conf, and goes to change their refresh rate using displayconfig-gtk or gnome-display-properties. So using ballpark figures... (probably wildly incorrect) if 30% of users use Nvidia chipsets and 50% of those use restricted drivers to install nvidia for effects, or 3d and 25% of those want to change their refresh rate and 50% of those notice that 51hz does not look right then about 2% of users will be effected.

[Bug 157623] Re: displayconfig-gtk and gnome-display-properties show incorrect refresh rate options
Hmm behaviour is mostly as expected with the nv open source driver. the list shows 60 and 75 as refresh rate options... and 3d effects don't work anymore. Also in 75 hz mode, the monitor's picture is displayed off-center to the right, (using auto-align), it can be manually centered, but the proprietary driver is centered correctly at this same refresh rate.. so the timings are different perhaps... At 60 hz, the auto-center function works ok. So... I assume the nvidia-glx-new driver reports incorrect values to displayconfig-gtk?? I have included the outputs from the 3 commands you suggested before (run after switching to open-source.) Is this it? do I report this to another bug tracker? ** Attachment added: after switching to nv driver http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10332341/withOpenSource_nv.tar.gz -- displayconfig-gtk and gnome-display-properties show incorrect refresh rate options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157623 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Oh yeah, and there are extra useless resolution options like 832x624 and 896x672 For example one of the options is 1280x960, if i select it, my video card sets it ok, but the monitor goes blank and the OSD displays: INPUT NOT SUPPORTED... then wait for it to reset. I think monitors are supposed to report their supported modes, so these kind of things don't happen. Also, using nvidia-settings, when you drop-down a resolution, sane options are displayed for refresh rate, e.g. 1280x1024 @ 60 or 75... -- displayconfig-gtk and gnome-display-properties show incorrect refresh rate options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157623 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
