 Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2002 3:34 pm Post subject: where and how to set the refreshrate |
 |
|
I need to set my refreshrate for X11 and KDE lower than 85Hz because of the monitor I'm using right now, but where do I do that?
In the XF86Config file there is nothing about setting the refreshrate for a given resolution.
Can someone help me? I need it at 75Hz.

You should start out by reading this which pretty much tells you that you will need to make your own video mode settings, but do not despair for you will have this to make your life much much easier when creating your custom video modes!
Hope that helps!

hmm, that's better than the other things I found.
but where to get the dot clock for my video card? (GeForce 2 GTS 32MB)
I tried searching using Google, but found nothing I could use.
Nvidia also doesn't give info on that.

You might want to change that to MSI KT3 Ultra  I've pretty much got the same config, except the cpu: I've got an XP 1900+, and my motherboard's an MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU.

I believe if you set your VertRefresh to 50-75 that should do it.

how odd? I mean, it tell's you to specify what your monitor has and then I have to fill in something different?

My setting is HorizSync 30-96, which works fine for me. I'm guessing the suggestion was 'workaround'.

You're right. It would make a workaround.
sorry
