Hello.
Having serious problems with all nvidia boards plugged on my PC, now on
8400GS.
Xorg with 2D-only nouveau driver sets invalid preferred refresh rate 60hz on
SAMTRON 73v, when 75hz needed.
output of xrandr:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 8192 x 8192
DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VGA-1 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
338mm x 270mm
1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0
1152x864 75.0
1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0
720x400 70.1
I can *manually* set correct refresh rate using xrandr -r 75 command (for
example, in .xinitrc), but Xorg configuration don't recognize it at all.
Some full screen software games reset refresh rate back to 60hz.
How I can "hardcode" it in xorg.conf? I really stuck at this point.
Thanks.

I really stuck at this point. You can find how to "hardcode" the timings/refresh rate, by googling for "xorg modeline". Note 1: The refresh rate change will take place AFTER Xorg is up (i.e. currently there is not way to set it at boot time). Note 2: The generated values may or may not work. What you can try is startup "Xorg --verbose 9" using the blob and it should print the refresh rate/timings used. Then you can add it to xorg.conf > Thanks. P.S.

I use this rarely, because I put the computer in sleep state often. Modeline did not helped. I'm correct if I try to use a sample modeline given in Xorg.*.log for 75hz refresh? I got the board recently, I never used blob and never will be. I also do not rely on Gallium 3D today, so I use safe environ now. I had some tests with newer nvidia board, with same result. All works OK except this terrible behaviour. The monitor is capable to use 80Ghz/75Hz refresh rate, I use(d) ati before, before it goes mad sometimes. The refresh rate picked up correctly on ati, I used this for years. I can boot up into framebuffer console with 75hz normally via video= kernel command line parameter. When startx, all drops down to 60hz, and can be only manually set up with xrandr. Sorry for incorrect English and thanks alot for your answer.
