Steps to reproduce and reason for discovery:
Reason for discovery: planetpenguin-racer decided to do funky things to Xorg (
ie. wedge the whole system)
apparently ppracer wanted to set 800x600 (
the only time I got X back it was running at something like 800x600)
Did a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg without success, then moved a "known
good" xorg.conf into place and recovered X. At this point gnome-display
properties insists that my refresh rate is 50 Hz , whereas xvidtune
report the expected 85 Hz Vert Sync @ 1024x768
NEC V730 MultiSync monitor ( 17" )
** Affects: control-center (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
