Title:
  xrandr client truncates pixel clock freq. [Lucid]

Status in x11-xserver-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in x11-xserver-utils source package in Lucid:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 10.04 when adding new modes using "--newmode" the pixel
  clock is truncated, for example 119.9 will become 119.  This is due to
  check_strtod in xrandr.c returning an int when it should be returning
  in double.  This bug is already fixed upstream.  Please consider
  adding the following patch to either -updates or -backports, which
  every is more appropriate.

  Thank You.

  [IMPACT] Unable to get the required pixel clock and hence potential
  for difficulty in getting some video systems to operate correctly.
  Probably fairly rare.

  [Development Fix] It's working in current development versions, but
  hasn't been explicitly tracked.

  [Stable Fix] Original reporter reports that the patch at
  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xrandr/commit/?id=27f86db064a5ea60b942fd3d3ddeb462d980df9b
  is the required fix.

  [Test Case] From comment #3:"It's easy to reproduce, for example:

    xrandr --newmode "640x480_75.00" 30.75 640 664 728 816 480 483 487 504 -hsync +vsync"
    xrandr

  The output will be:
     ...
      640x480_75.00 (0x115) 30.0MHz
            h: width 640 start 664 end 728 total 816 skew 0 clock 36.8KHz
            v: height 480 start 483 end 487 total 504 clock 72.9Hz

  Notice how the pixel clock freq. was truncated to 30.00 and the
  refresh rate is 72.9 instead of 75.0 like it should be."

  [Regression Potential] Apparently small; although one has to worry
  about changing something like xrandr.
