After upgrading to Fiesty, my crt screen showed "interlacing." In nvidia-settings, it showed a default refresh rate of "43 interlace." As root, I could change it to 85 Hz, and save the setting to xorg.conf, and then it looked fine, but the setting would not persist rebooting. After a few days, this became annoying and I decided to try to fix it.
First I checked xorg.conf and verified that I had a setting for "1024x768_85" and that my refresh rates, and that the ranges were correct. They were. Then I checked control center -> settings -> monitor and found that the range of refresh rates was from 50 to 59. That was strange, because I needed 85 Hz. I couldn't find the config file that controlled that, and after posting got no answer.
Finally, since I couldn't seem to fix it any other way, and since this problem didn't exist in Edgy, I decided to install an earlier Nvidia driver. Feisty was using Nvidia 1.0-9631, and so I tried installing 1.0-8776 which I had used successfully on another distro. This turned out to be a big problem and now I can't get out of the CL.
How can I fix this? Should I try to reinstall 1.0-9631? If so, how, and what should I do about the interlacing? If not, should I go to a different legacy driver? My Nvidia card is GeForce4 MX 420.
Thanks,
