Check/set display frequency of 0.0 Hz (unsolved; deferred)

[Rogonow]

When I do this: "Menu" --> 'Settings' --> 'Display'
I see then 0.0 Hz. I searched on this forum and with google, but no solution was found to be good enough.

I think the frequency is not set right. I have streaks on the screen at game "Neverball". I think my 3D-card is activated on my motherboard MSI H81M-P33 V2" with i5 (4 cores) processor.
"glxgears" gives me about 3000 fps.

EDIT: After replacing my kernel, 3D got disactivated. While trying to set that back, no kernel was found at reboot!! Linux Mint forced me to stop using it. I'll try an other linux.... Gosh, after hours of configuring. Windows wins again.

I found out that the games Neverball and Neverputt have also streaks on my old pc. My old pc had those flashing streaks not. It seems that an update destroyed the possibility to play those games in my Linux version. Supertuxcart, an other game, works perfect.
About the display frequency: it's a bug that would be solved in Linux Mint 17.

Such stuff makes that Windows keeps winning from Linux Mint popularity.

However, I have high expectations for Linux Mint 17. I still doubt about an upgrade to it or a reinstall of it.

somehow, I feel sometimes convinced that LTS stands for 'Long Term Suffering". So my vision is to choose for new versions while having somewhere a log for yourself or online to tune it quickly to your multi-usable device, to repair quicky if necessary and to support those 'suffering' developers.

But I'll wait some months for Linux Mint 17 / Ubuntu 14.04.
