I recently upgraded to Red Hat 7.3 on a Toshiba SatellitePro 6000 laptop,
and was pleased to find that the supplied XFree86 trident driver supports
the chipset variant found on this machine - unlike the Red Hat 7.2 version
(I had to use the generic VESA driver earlier.)
However, when I run in 1280x1024 on an external screen. The quality of the
display is very poor. Closer inspection reveals that the refresh rate is
only 60Hz, while I'm used to getting 85Hz or similar on our Linux boxes. I
have
HorizSync 30 - 109
VertRefresh 48 - 160
in the monitor section, so clearly that doesn't limit the rate. I also
suspected that failure to find all the video RAM was the problem, but
inserting
VideoRam 16384
into the devices section did not help.
Any idea what else might be wrong? How exactly is the refresh rate
determined, anyway?
