Every time the system starts the screen's refresh rate reverts to 87Hz which results in a pixelated and flickery screen At every boot up which I have to manually correct every time by either selecting 60Hz as my refresh rate. Manually Changing o 60Hz

I have tried "save to X configuration files" and even tried by making the changes as Root but to no avail as it again reverts to 87Hz on every system startup The same result

The Open Source Drivers are Okay for regular Unity but many games don't work on it hence I had to install the nvidia drivers. I have been facing this since the Beta Phase although this is on a fresh installation of 12.04 final release. I am also providing my Xorg.conf file just in case it might help http://paste.ubuntu.com/952196/

Also for some reason Displays shows my CRT monitor as Laptop but on open source drivers it was mentioning it as a 14" CRT only enter image description here

This bug is also present on Edubuntu 12.04 Edubuntu

This is not present on Xubuntu 12.04 :-) I had selected to install updates and 3rd party software on the install and was greeted with a correct refresh rate screen on the Boot Up. I like Xubuntu.
