So, I think, it is necessary only to change the refresh rate. But Personal Settings> Display and Monitor offers onlly 60Hz (or Auto, which doesn't help). It is very hard to believe that this acclaimed (by the manufacturer) driver and hardware can support only one refresh rate (which doesn't seem demandingly fast), and that one is possible only for
60 is standard for most LCDs. Anything other than 60 on a LCD is usually pointless, even if supported, possibly provided mainly for cards that don't support the native resolution at 60, but do at 72 or 75 or whatever.
very modest resolutions (the greatest being 1024x768). There really has to be more to this -- or the question of a standalone graphics care arises again.
What is your display type (CRT vs LCD/LED vs other)? What is the native resolution of your display? If you don't know the above, what make and model is it? What resolution were you using with the old motherboard (if you remember)? What resolution do you wish (if you know)? It's an LG Flatron LCD monitor, the model number of which slips my mind and is written on the back in letters too small to read, even when I put on my glasses.
With the previous board, i used the display with 1280x1024. My fallible memory of the refresh rate is 72, but it could well have been 60 or something else. I don't attach much importance to the refresh rate (all the usual rates are well above the flicker threshold), but I would like a higher resolution, as I had with the now defunct board.
LCD is almost always 60Hz. On the resolution problem, make sure you are not somehow invoking the vesafb (frame buffer) driver somewhere in the process before the driver you want to load is loaded (I'm still guessing your are playing with the "Intel HD Integrated Graphics"? -- or I might have missed the card switch somewhere in this thread) Regardless, I have had problems in the past with ATI drivers being installed, but the framebuffer driver loading when X loads. This was primarily an xorg.conf problem in the days before /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ setup. Check the files in this directory. The driver load section is usually in: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf (or 50-device.conf.something) There you will find the familiar old: Section "Module" Disable "dri" Disable "dri2" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Default Device" Driver "radeonhd" Option "AccelMethod" "xaa" EndSection (of course your options and Driver will vary) Just check to make sure you are loading the Driver you think you are and that everything else makes sense. You can simply make backups of these files and play with the settings to try different drivers (restarting X in between changes) Xorg does a good job of choosing reasonable defaults now, but sometimes it still takes a bit of manual intervention. -- David C.
