Are you running 8.2? Try running "xrandr" and see which options are available to you. If a better refresh rate is available, you can set it with a command like
xrandr -r 64
but check first which values are settable by running "xrandr" without any parameters
I ran it but it says my monitor can only do 62Hz at 1280x1024. I know it can do up to 75.
BTW, is this similar to an fbconfig command on a UNIX/Sun box? I can do a fbconfig -setres 1280x1024x70 and it will just take it.
Thanks, Tom
Dunno if it helps but I had a problem with my CRT monitor's EDID which lied about the monitor's capabilities. Solution was to add an option to ignore EDID to the XF86Config Device section as follows: Section "Device" BoardName "GeForce4 MX 420" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "NVidia" Option "IgnoreEDID" "True" Option "NvAgp" "1" EndSection I was then able to set the mode to 1600x1200 that the monitor is capable of. Dunno if LCD panels have this option. Geoff Horn
