[Bug 1192028] Re: Compiz refresh rate resets to 50 Hz automatically

 

Yep Chris, it's specific to nvidia binary driver users. I've not had the
problem when using nouveau, nor on other computers using the open source
radeon drivers (or fglrx for that matter).
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/92599 (which is an
issue with nvidia's DynamicTwinView feature not reporting the correct
refresh rate) apparently got fixed, which is what you might be seeing in
the code with forced 60Hz

Opening CCSM and typing 60 and pressing enter in the refresh rate box
makes the desktop super smooth on my machine (from choppy). This is
using the packaged nvidia binary driver in 14.04 (but it's been
happening for many releases now). It doesn't remember the setting across
reboots though.

Is there some way I can check what refresh rate compiz is actually
using? The field in CCSM is blank each time I start it. Does compiz have
a debug mode that shows info about how it's detecting refresh rate, and
how it's making its decision maybe?
