Hi all, I've been following some of the advice on the list recently about improving the fonts in 10.2. I have seen a huge improvement so far, but there are still some issues.
In looking into all of this however, I have discovered that I can't get my monitor to display at its native resolution (1280x1024) at 60 Hz. NOTE: I'm using KDE and to get the refresh rate I right click on the desktop, choose "Configure Desktop..." and then look at the refresh rate under "Display". Is there a command line alternative to get this info? Monitor: LCD BENQ FP937s Graphics Card: NVidia GeForce PCX 5750 NVidia Driver: 1.0-9746 I have been using sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia and have tried many variations but I can't get 60 Hz. I have tried selecting the generic LCD monitor (instead of the BENQ) and explicitly choosing the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mode, testing looks ok and claims to be at 60 Hz, but when I save the results and go to init 5, the display is back at 50 Hz. I've also tried (even though I don't know if I should) sax --vesa 0:[EMAIL PROTECTED] which didn't help. I've also tried to generate another modeline using gtf 1280 1024 60 and replacing the modeline in xorg.conf with these values. This allows me to select between 50 Hz and 55 Hz from the KDE desktop settings, but still no 60 Hz. Finally, if I modify my current xorg.conf file and change the driver from "nvidia" to "nv" (and make only that change), I can get a display at 60 Hz, but I lose the 3D acceleration and some of the font improvements as well. Does anyone know how I can get 60 Hz on this monitor with the binary nvidia driver? -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
