So basicly the problem is as follows:
I have 2 displays and a Geforce 8800gts running with Nvidia drivers. I have installed the drivers ok and they are working, both displays are working as their own X displays but thing that is not working is the refresh rate on the main screen or atleast not as its suposed to work. I can set the Hz on screen one to 60hz from the Nvidia settings but every time i boot or restart X it will go back to 51hz, and this is because the gnome-display-settings program only sees max hz as 51hz for some reason. The second screen is not visible on the gnome-display-settings dialog due to the Nvidia drivers and its working as it should be at 75 on its resolution of 1280x1024. But the main display wich is show on the gnome thingy is an "unknows screen" running at 1680x1050 at 51hz eventho at windows it runs at 1680x1050 at 75hz The display is an LG 22inc LCD (L225WS)
