Ah yes, some monitors just display "New Signal Frequency" or some such unless the frequency is pretty precisely one of the 'standard' frequencies.
If it's so important to know exactly what the frequency is, one can't help but wonder why Volker doesn't: 1) Get a frequency meter from an establishment where he has friends who play with sich toys, and just measure the frequencies of the synch signals; 2) Decide what frequencies he wants and set the modeline in xorg.conf as required. I'm sure he could do it either academically, i.e. with a pencil and paper, or like the rest of us do using a mode-line calculator such as:- http://amlc.berlios.de/ See also:- http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree86-Video-Timings-HOWTO/ http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Framebuffer-HOWTO-18.html -- CS
