Title:
Incorrect information in man page of cvt
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Not a software bug but highly annoying.
From 'man cvt':
OPTIONS
refresh Provide a vertical refresh rate in kHz. The CVT standard
prefers either 50.0, 60.0, 75.0 or 85.0kHz. The
default is 60.0kHz.
Problem:

Ubuntu 12.04 (64bit but I don't think it matters).
Possible package: xorg-server
Note: man pages on the web are also incorrect; e.g.
