I have been looking for information about this issue, but not found any resources. However, a search on the web indicates that I am not the only one with questions about this... The modelines automatically generated by XFree86 seems to give a refresh rate of maximum 85 Hz. You have to generate a modeline manually to achieve a higher refresh rate. Is this intentional? A higher refresh rate than 85 Hz may be difficult to see with the eye, but I wanted to at least try my monitor at a higher refresh rate. Ideally, XFree86 would always be configured to use "Optimal" refresh rate. That would make it simple to explain to users that Optimal refresh rate is always used. (There could be a parameter to cap the refresh rate at 85Hz. I have different statements if high refresh rates wear the monitor or not.) A related issue: Is the mode lines generated by XFree86 conforming to the General Timing Formula (GTF)as defined by VESA? Most modeline generators on the Internet does not conform to this standard. This creates problem for the Nvidia driver, that can handle sync pulses with a maximum width of 256 pixels. The only thing I know about GTF is in the only gtf compliant modeline generator I have found. There is not much on the VESA website about GTF. http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2001-October/012070.html or http://www.sh.nu/nvidia/gtf.c Regards, Gerhard _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
