Hi Tom,

Selecting 1024 x 768 75 Hz choosing "Medium" will end up with 1024 x 768 60
Hz.

Now Desktop->Preferences->Screen Resolution has only 60 Hz option in
dropdown for 1024 x 768.

Don't no what to do.

Thanks,

No I don't restart the X. Even I didn't know that could be done after
changing xorg.conf without restarting the PC. (X server must be restarted
entirely after reboot)

What I did is, just restarted the mechine using gdm menu & it takes me to
the command line after reboot. ( Because I change the defeult runlevel to 3
in inittab & rename /etc/rc3.d/S21gdm to /etc/rc3.d/s21gdm) Then I logged as
root and execute "gdm" in command prompt. Then I logged to the mechine using
my user account (since it don't give me to log as a root)

After reading this mail I tried to start the X using "startx" (instead of
"gdm") & it directly loged me as a root. But same effect, it only shows me
60/87 Hz for 1024 x 768 and previous problems are there.

Yes now I am using the second xorg.conf. i.e the one under the hedding
**xorg.conf**current one** in my previous mail.

It has created by "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
