[Bug 77037] Monitor & Display missing refresh rate values

[Brian Beck]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kcontrol

My monitor, Samsung SyncMaster 763MB, is capable of displaying
1024x768 at 85Hz.  However, I find that running at that high of a refresh
rate makes the center of the moitor blurry a difficult to view for long
periods of time.  In the last version of Kubuntu I used, breezy badger,
I simply changed the refresh rate to 60Hz using Kcontrol.  Now that I
have upgraded to Edgy Eft, I can no longer use Kcontrol to change the
refresh rate, the only option I have is 85Hz.

I have reconfigured xserver-xorg a number of times, sometimes using
advanced monitor settings so I can set the frequency of the monitor,
sometimes using the medium monitor setup so I just set the resolution
and refresh rate.  Nothing seems to fix the problem once I enter KDE.

Please tell me if there is a solution or workaround to this.  If there
is anything I can do to help just ask.
