OS: Mandrake 8.0 video card: S3 Trio 3D, 4MB monitor: Proview 765 Problem: XFree86 SVGA server seems to be running at low vert. refresh rate. The above monitor is not directly supported, so I set it up as "custom", with h. sync 30-70 and v. sync 40-150, as per manufacturer's manual. I'm running 1024x768, 24bpp. Under windoze, I used to run this monitor at 1024x768, 32bpp, 85Hz vert. without any problem. But in X, I can see some flickering, and I suspect (but cannot prove) that it is running at a much lower v. sync rate. I cannot find any way to determine what rate it is using. When I start X I can see that many modelines are being deleted by the server, but all the important ones are scrolling off the top of the terminal much too fast to read, and I can find no way to view them. I tried the usual trick of re-directing output to a file, but the file created is always empty, and I cannot find a logfile for this anywhere. I tried to force a higher rate by changing the v. sync range to 75-150 in XF86Config, but that made no difference. There is also a XF86Config-4 file - why is this needed? Anyway - I changed this one too, and still no difference. Questions: 1. How can I determine what sync rate is actually being used? 2. How can make it sync at a higher rate? (I want at least 75Hz) Many thanks for any help, Bob Y
