** Description changed:

  I downloaded & installed the 8.04 release candidate and noted the
  following problem:
  
  After the default installation and switching to nvidia driver using the
  hardware applet, I have some problems with the screen resolution and
  refresh rate:
  
  1) By default, Ubuntu uses 1280x1...@75hz which flickers very much and
  destroys my eyes. (I think a 85 Hz mode should be selected by default)
  
  2) So I tried to change the resolution to 1152x...@85hz using System /
  Settings / Screen resolution. Now, there is the option "Clone screens" -
  I don't understand this because I only have one screen. At the 1280x1024
  resolution, the refresh rates 51 Hz and 50 Hz are possible which is
  incorrect because when I use the "50 Hz", it uses 75 Hz in real
  (according to my eyes and the monitor menu). When I switch to 1152x864,
  I can select 57 Hz or 56 Hz and I have to select 56 Hz to get 85 Hz in
  real. This is really weird.
