Title:
Unity overrides refresh rate setting
Status in Unity:
New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After installing the proprietary Nvidia drivers and then using the
included Nvidia X Server Settings utility to manually set the
resolution to 1920x1080 and the refresh rate to 144Hz (I have a 144Hz
monitor), Unity still seems to move at the default f/s cap, which also
limits the f/s in non-fullscreen games, including borderless window
games. Setting the refresh rate in Compiz Configuration Settings
Manager seems to have no affect. Also, on booting up the machine, the
refresh rate setting gets overridden and reset to the default. For
anyone with a high refresh rate monitor, this makes the Unity desktop
environment a no-go. KDE and XFCE do not have this issue.
