Public bug reported: Every time PP restarts, I have to run nvidia-settings and force set the monitor refresh rate to 85. It always shows 60 on reboots, and hurts my eyes.
ASFAIK, nvidia settings is properly saving the xorg.conf file. But perhaps the kernel, just ignores it and always sets the refresh to 60.
