Bug Description

Changing settings in CCSM, it looks like disabling Composite > Detect Refresh Rate is initially ignored. That is, until I change the Refresh Rate also. Then the manual refresh rate finally takes effect.

Workaround:

Create a Script with the desired Refresh Rate and mark it as excutable and add it to startup Programs:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 5 &&
dconf write /org/compiz/profiles/UnityNeu/plugins/composite/refresh-rate "60"

Now i dont have to open CCSM after every restart and got my 60hz refresh-rate.

Confirming with nvidia on 13.04. xrandr reports 60Hz refresh rate for the current resolution, but detection sets 50 (window dragging looks sluggist). Have to fiddle with settings "Detect .." and actual refresh rate value to get 60Hz. Seems to revert again after logout/login cycle.

I'm confirming this with nvidia drivers on the final release of 13.04, I've used the script work around above but how are newbs supposed to game on this OS if OpenGL performance is so degraded by default?

This is a show stopper and should be set to 120 by default as that would be a multiple 60, and 120hz is the native refresh rate of most new monitors.

Actually Michael Beckers script doesn't work for me, I still have to set the refresh rate manually every reboot. PLEASE FIX THIS BUG.

@Michael: thank you
Also you should add an empty line after: #!/bin/bash

This bug needs to be forwarded upstream (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage#Forwarding_upstream).

This is even more severe in 13.10 now.
The dconf script sets the refresh rate (visible in dconf-editor) but the compiz ignores it altogether. Window dragging is always sluggish.

Sorry, I take that back. Setting this after the launch is honored by compiz after all. Still, the bug itself still exists.

Is this bug even being looked at? This is critical. Running at 50hz makes everything run laggy and stuttery. This worked in the past, so It's a regression. Please don't release 14.04 with this bug.
