How are you determining the refresh rate? xrandr will not display the correct refresh rate with the nvidia driver:

If you have a modern monitor it should be able to show the current resolution and refresh rate. Have a look at that to see what the refresh rate is.

but I do not have this problem with nv driver , but when I install nvidia driver this is happen for me.

I had the same. You should google your monitors refresh rates and set it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
These are for my Sony multiscan 200ES:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "moni"
HorizSync 31.5-68.7
VertRefresh 60-85
EndSection

I do that before

Try starting X with startx="startx -- -logverbose 6"
Once started type egrep -E \([0-9]\{3,4\}\)x\([0-9]\{3,4\}\) /var/log/Xorg.0.log

What is the output?

What can you see on the lower right corner of xvidtune?

[adamk]

You still haven't said how you are retrieving the refresh rate. If you are using xrandr, or xvidtune, you should not expect the correct refresh rate to be displayed. Use nvidia-settings to see what it is.

xrandr

when I run
nvidia-setting
Is ee refresh rate is 75
but when I sit in front of computer after 15 minute I get headache . and I think refresh rate is not good

but system setting in kde 4.2 show me refresh rate is 51 HZ

[adamk]

The refresh rate shown in nvidia-settings is correct. As the link that I pointed you to explains, xrandr and normal X utilities will *not* report the correct refresh rate.

If 75 isn't good enough, try adjusting it. If you still have problems, get your eyes checked.

but I do not have this problem with this driver and everything is OK

/usr/ports/xf86-video-nv

[adamk]

Then you need to take it up with nvidia. I've told you the exactly what they tell everyone who has asked this question on the nvnews.net forums. If you have dynamic twinview enabled (and it is enabled by default) then the normal X utilities will not report the correct refresh rate but nvidia-settings will.

I install new driver of nvidia last night after port update
but after install new driver I see another problem


1- font is very terrible and if I see them I see they make by .... or point

2- after install new driver I do not have special effect and everything is like nv driver

[mfaridi]

there is no answer ?

[adamk]

You haven't given us much to work with... What does your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file say? Bear in mind that updating your drivers is not going to get your refresh rate to report properly.

You did reboot after updating the driver, right? It's a kernel module that needs to be reloaded.

So do I must reinstall nvidia driver and do not reinstall xorg-server ????

[DutchDaemon]

Only reinstall the nvidia-driver port and restart X.
