Okay, after looking at displayconfig-restore.py, I'm convinced that I haven't really found the source of the bug, just a place where the bug is causing a mess up. Inside this program, it is getting a list of refresh rates, then picking the best one. I overrode its preferred choice of 57Hz and told it to use 85Hz. This worked. I have a few thoughts on this:
* xrandr reported a max of 57Hz. I looked at the source of this program and it is querying X to get its info * kde-guidance (the package with displayconfig-restore) has a dependency on libxrandr2. Since xrandr is just querying the system, I don't think the bug is there either. In my opinion this is a bug with either the kernel or nvidia driver. -- kde changes screen refresh rate of nvidia card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89640 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
