Hi I've been trying for several months to increase the refresh rate of my monitor. I've attached my current xf86config file. I've also tried the modeline generator on sourceforge. http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl The results of which are in the config file. Here are some details about my system: RHLinux 8.0 Kernel 2.4.18 NVidia GeForce 4 Ti 4400 128MB Current Screen Res: 1280 x 1024 Current Depth: 16 Current Vert Refresh: 60Hz KDS(Korean Data Systems) 19' monitor: Max Dot Clock 202.5MHz Horz Scan:30-95KHz Vert Scan:50-160Hz Display Area: 330mm x 265mm I've got a dual boot system and mainly run XP. On it I have a refresh rate of 85Hz.I can't realistically use my linux setup for anything without increasing the refresh rate, since my eyes start hurting after 10-30 mins. Thanks sashan
