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 Author: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Date: Fri May 31 17:01:53 2013 +0300 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.
