Frequecy too high after installation with Nokia 446PRO + Geforce 420Mx

Bug Description

Nokia 446PRO + Geforce 420Mx screen resolution is set to 1600 x 1200 after Ubuntu Breezy installation frequency is set too high (desktop graphics are "flashing" cursor alike characters).

Screen resolution informs:

Resolution: 1600 x 1200
Frequency: 85hz

But by some reason cursors are flashing and problem appears only after Ubuntu installation with default settings.

Workaround for problem is to change resolution manually to 1280 x 1024 and then back to 1600 x 1200 with 85hz frequency.

Not familiar with this kind of monitor but can you attach your Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf just in case so we can have a clearer overview of what's happening? It's mostly an issue with autoconfiguration I would say.

Changed in xorg:
status: Unconfirmed → Needs Info

can you reproduce this problem using the lastet dapper or the nv free driver?

No, because I use only stable releases and I don't wanna mess my system anymore.

I haven't tried this with Dapper at all because I use only stable
releases. And yes, bug still exists with Breezy.

This fault really happens only when monitor is turned off and thus it
cannot offer signal to display adapter.

For reproducing this:

1. Turn off computer and monitor
2. Turn on computer but don't turn on monitor
3. Wait few minutes, until Ubuntu is booted to the login menu. Note: I
don't have standard login screen. So I changed some settings from System
-> Administration -> Login screen setup

General tab
Local: Themed Greeter

Themed Greeter tab
Mode: Only One Theme
Happy GNOME with Browser

Other settings should be in order.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you while using the latest stable version of Ubuntu? If it is, the newer X.org should generate more useful Xorg.0.log, could you please attach it? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I don't have this monitor or GF420mx display adapter anymore (both sold year ago). Anyway I still use only Dapper Drake and I havent tried newer Ubuntu versions because I need LTS version.
