How to change the monitor's refresh rate?

How do I change the monitor's refresh rate in Oneiric?

There is no option to do it in the Displays dialog now. By default it's 60Hz, but I need 75Hz on my monitor.

In previous releases there used to be such an option in the Displays dialog.

Edit - Half baked solution

The best I could do so far was:

xrandr -s 1280x1024 -r 75

This is perfect, but my problem is that it isn't permanent. It defaults back to 60 Hz after logging out and back in.

Perhaps this should go into some script and added to startup? I just don't know how to do that.

So my solution is, which seems to work well on my system:

I opened up Startup Applications

I clicked Add

I typed a name and the following in the command field:

xrandr -s 1280x1024 -r 75

Using this xrandr -s 1280x1024 -r 75 is run at every sytem startup and sets the refresh rate as required. There could be a better option but right now this seems to be OK for me.

Hopefully the LTS will fix the showstopper bug of no easy, gui way to change the refresh rate.
