This is very weird..

It depends on the order of the modelines set in xorg.conf.

If the current modeline in use matches the first one in the list of
xorg.conf then it shows up.
but if another modeline is selected, then the first entry doesn't show.

In the list of id (starting from 50, 51 etc..)
always seem to report the one found by randr.

id 50 and 51 are duplicate.

if I set the refresh rate to 60Hz, then I get:

now 60Hz shows up...

going to try with more recent version of the drivers...

then going to report the bug to nvidia if it still exists there
