    Refresh rate not correct after reboot

    Hi all. I am using non-free nvidia video driver with Ibex and I have my screen set up the way I like it at 1600x1200 with a refresh rate of 85hz. I use nvidia-settings to make these adjustments and then select "save to X configuration file" and "merge with existing file".
    This has worked in the past, but since I upgraded to Ibex it does not. When I save the settings, the terminal window displays:

    sh: pkg-config: not found

    Any ideas? Here is my xorg.conf file (minus the comments in the beginning):

    Re: Refresh rate not correct after reboot

    just a guess...try:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install pkg-config
    then re-try:
    Code:
    kdesudo nvidia-settings

      Re: Refresh rate not correct after reboot

      I'm running the proprietary Nvidia driver, at 1600x1200, so I'll share my xorg.conf. BTW, I recommend you leave the "refresh" rate on "auto" -- the driver will attempt to refresh as fast as it can for whatever you're displaying -- you don't want to try to outsmart it.

        Re: Refresh rate not correct after reboot

        Thanks for the replies. I did the "apt-get install pkg-config" and "kdesudo nvidia-xconfig" and that made the error message go away, but did not solve the refresh rate problem.
        I also changed the metamode line in xorg by removing the specified refresh rate (85hz) and replacing it with "nvidia-auto-select".
        Still no change.
        Any other ideas?

          Hello everybody,

          I have the same problem:
          After login I get a 60 Hz display instead of "auto" or "75Hz" saved in xorg.conf !?
          TIA with the hope that someone resolved :-/

          Here's my xorg.conf:
