Bug Description

In my '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' stands VertRefresh 60, but my Xserver shows me 75 HZ anyway. I found no way to change this.
It is a TFT-Screen an a Nvidiacard. In Breezy VertRefresh did what it should do. It is only in Dapper.

Frank:
VertRefresh should always be a range not a single value. It doesn't control the final refresh rate in the way that you are imagining. Can you set it to range and then check to use
xrandr -q
to see what refresh ranges are available? Also be warned because Bug #92599 can lead to distorted results...

I'm now using Feisty and I think the bug is the same as Bug #104105. The only difference is that I use no twin screen. So I think you can close this bug!

Frank:
Bug #104105 affects people who are using single head too. Try adding
Option "DynamicTwinView" "false"
to the Device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see whether the problem goes away...
