Thomas, having just
VertRefresh 50.0
in your `xorg.conf`, did you measure the 60 Hz directly at the output or were you just saying the tools reported 60 Hz?
without specifying the modeline directly in xorg.conf (the bad case) the tool reported 60Hz, Xorg.0.log reports 50Hz and at the same time it was juddering like mad. This is clearly a bug for me because the Modes "1920x1080_50" setting is ignored and on top of that Xorg.0.log lies about this.
After specifying the modeline directly in xorg.conf (the workaround) the tool and Xorg.0.log reported 50Hz. And live ticker scrolled smoothly without any jumping.
For me this is evidence enough the tool reported the right thing in both cases.
cheers Thomas
