Marc, thanks for the tip! Yes, I was using KDE. I couldn't find a command line alternative to get this information and didn't even think of checking the monitor itself. The monitor reports 1280x1024 @ 60 Hz, so it looks like all is well (apart from what KDE reports). Having said that, I checked my laptop last night and found the same behavior, KDE reports that the display is at 50 Hz when I have set it for 60 Hz. Of course, there are no monitor controls on the laptop to get at the OSD information. Is there a reliable way to get the refresh rate information for a laptop? -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
