** 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. + + [lspci] + 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
