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

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
