I downloaded and booted from the hardy-desktop-i386 alpha-5. The refresh rate was ~30Hz.
I installed the new intel driver as mentioned above (http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-intel /xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.2.1-1ubuntu2_i386.deb) Ctrl-Alt-Backspace restarted X and logged me in again. compiz crashed. This seems to be a reported bug (183685). It seemed reproduceable (well, it happened twice in a row). There seemed to be no impact on testing, so I ignored this. The refresh rate was ~60Hz. Victory! I will now attach the requested 5 * 2 files (for each requested file, one from hardy alpha, and one from hardy alpha + updated intel X driver). Actually, the lspci and ddcprobe outputs are identical as are the xorg.conf files so I will only attach one each of those. The key difference is in the xrandr logs: < 1280x768 29.7*+ 60.0 --- > 1280x768 59.3*+ 60.0 ** Attachment added: "lspci -nnvv output" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12270696/lspci.LOG -- Intel video driver incorrectly sets refresh rates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155261 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
