Comment 13 for bug 958424

Steve, I originally opened this bug, and then realized my main problem was failure to properly detect my monitor: bug 958439. You may want to look in that direction. Monitors *should* be communicating their capabilities to the computer, and at that point it should be easy for the OS to determine an ideal refresh rate for any resolution. So you really shouldn't need to be able to manually specify a refresh rate. And I can see, given that it should be completely unnecessary, people wanting to remove the capability to make the interface slightly less complicated. But Daniel pointed out in comment #9 that there are reasons to have it.
