My monitor supports 1920×1080 @ 60hz (LG W2486L) and graphic card (GeForce 9400 GT)
using Ubuntu 12.04.
When I type xrandr -q
I get this:
xrandr -q
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1920 x 1080, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1080
default connected 1920x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1920x1080 50.0*
1920x1080_59.90 59.9
1920x1080_60.00 60.0
Right now the refresh rate is on 50 and hurt my eyes real bad.
So I'm trying to change it to 60hz:
xrandr --output default --mode 1920x1080_60.00
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
What I can do? I tried
gtf 1920 1080 60.0
# 1920x1080 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 67.08 kHz; pclk: 172.80 MHz
Modeline "1920x1080_60.00" 172.80 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118 -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 172.51 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118 -HSync +Vsync
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Major opcode of failed request: 153 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (RRCreateMode)
Serial number of failed request: 19
Current serial number in output stream: 19
xrandr --output default --mode 1920x1080_60.00
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Someone have the solution for this? I can't work on the PC like that, 50Hz is very low and can't look at the screen more than 5 mins.
Thank you!

Any reason why you hadclk 172.51
instead of172.8
as was calculated from GTF in your xrandr command?

Your xrandr -q output shows that you have 1920x1080_59.90 resolution available
You can use this to set the new resolution
xrandr --output default --mode 1920x1080_59.90
Also, if you are creating newmode using
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_59.90" 172.51 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118 -HSync +Vsync
You also need to add this mode using
xrandr --addmode default 1920x1080_59.90
And then set the new resolution using
xrandr --output default --mode 1920x1080_59.90
well after i reboot the pc, xrandr -q results change to: 1920x1080 50.0* 1680x1050 51.0 52.0 1600x1024 53.0 1440x900 54.0 and it make no sense, i should have 1920x1080 with 60hz

put all the codes given above in a file and create a script, For example :Create xrandr.sh #!/bin/bash xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_59.90" 172.51 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118 -HSync +Vsync xrandr --addmode default 1920x1080_59.90 xrandr --output default --mode 1920x1080_59.90 Then make this script to autorun on startup

Mar 12 '13 at 7:34
You can even add this line Modeline "1920x1080_59.90" 172.51 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118 -HSync +Vsync in the Monitor section of xorg.conf file in /etc/X11

put all the codes given above in a file and create a script, For example :Create xrandr.sh #!/bin/bash xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_59.90" 172.51 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118 -HSync +Vsync xrandr --addmode default 1920x1080_59.90 xrandr --output default --mode 1920x1080_59.90 Then make this script to autorun on startup
