Since having purchased a Geforce FX 5200. my refresh rate has miraculously 'changed' and I can no longer get a GUI. I have tried to use SaX2 to change it, but SaX auto configures my screen to a refresh rate of 74hz which is 14 hz over what it will allow, thus my TFT flashes "Over Range" in my face. Anyone who knows a method of rectifying the problem without starting up the GUI (obvious reason) would be much appreciated. P.S: I will just add that I am using a Natcomp TFT (obscure model :-( )

vi /etc/X11/XF86Config and set the refresh rate of your monitor to 60 So in your Monitor section set the line to VertRefresh 60

Or even better, edit /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/api/data/cdb/Monitors and add the specs for your 'obscure' TFT, and sax will be able to get it right automatically as well, even if you make other changes. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
