Bug 235976

What's the output of xrandr -q on your system?

Here you go:
 SZ:    Pixels          Physical       Refresh
*0   1280 x 1024   ( 382mm x 302mm )  *75  
 1   1024 x 768    ( 382mm x 302mm )   75  
 2    800 x 600    ( 382mm x 302mm )   75  
 3    640 x 480    ( 382mm x 302mm )   75  
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal left inverted right 
Reflections possible - none

Only one refresh rate is shown. This is from my work machine. I'll check my home
one later

Still waiting for the results on the machine where it's a problem.

Here's output for my home PC (monitor is connected via DVI)

Rafresh rates are bogus

It's a problem with xrandr itself, not with the gnome-display-properties.

Do you use the nv driver, or the binary proprietary driver?

On work machine I use driver for intel motherboard video. On home PC I use
nvidia module version 97.55 (downloaded from www.nvidia.com)

OK, could we split this into two bugs, please, one for each system? Thanks. Note
also, that we don't support drivers from nvidia.com, i.e., if you want us to
work on this problem, you have to reproduce it with open source nv driver.

So, please, file a new bug for one of these two systems, and try to reproduce
the problem with open source driver on your home machine. Also, could you please
attach to BOTH bugs uncompressed separate attachments of /var/log/Xorg.*.log and
/etc/X11/xorg.conf?

Thanks a lot,

Matej Cepl

Attaching home files. Looks like it was incompatibility with nvidia after all.

As for my work machine - please wait until Monday

Thanks for the logs, but I have hard time to understand what exactly does it
mean?  Do you want to say that nv driver displays the values correctly, i.e.,
that there is no bug there? Of course, nv driver doesn't support all the
capabilities of nVidia chips, but is it broken? Is there any bug here at all?

No. There is no bug with nv driver. I contacted nvidia and they said that improper 
xrandr behavior with their driver is expected. This problem is connected to
TwinView capabilities. But there is definitely a bug with intel video driver.
I'll attach logs and configs from my work PC tomorrow.

OK, so looking forward to your logs.

Here you go

This is actually expected.  The i810 driver only picks one refresh rate per
size, due to VBE being so utterly broken.  It's not _good_, certainly, but it's
expected.

In F7 and later the intel driver will probably give you what you want.
