Description Kevin Mitchell 2014-02-17 10:49:34 UTC
I have an Samsung eh5000 HDTV that I connect to my Intel Mobile Ivy
Bridge chipset via HDMI1 as reported by xrandr. Without modification
xrandr reports the display's native resolution as

1920x1080      60.0 +   59.9     30.0     24.0     30.0     24.0*

This is confusing because it lists 30.0 and 24.0 twice each. I
discovered that I could switch to either one by specifying --rate
30/--rate 29.97 or --rate 24/--rate 23.98.

I pushed an earlier change from Ville Syrjälä for this.

commit 8f9b993342fddfceaa1afbec2996ce10038f10d7

    xrandr: Use more decimal places when printing various rates
    
    Using just one decimal place for dotclock and refresh rates loses quite
    a bit of information. When dealing with 60Hz vs. 59.94Hz refresh rate
    modes for example, it's useful to see at least two decimal places. For
    the dotclock in similar cases, three decimal places seems quite a bit
    better than just one.
