Is there an easy way I can modify refresh rates in X without having to write mode lines manually? TIA. -Alex Try xvidtune (I don't know what package that's in).

I've managed to get the resolution switched to 1280x1024 at which I KNOW I can do 85+ Hz, but it just isn't happening. I'm beginning to think that it's an issue with the program I'm using to get VGA out to cooperate. (atitvout) It seems to only want to do 60Hz no matter what. -Alex signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Sync rates are 30-70 and 50-120 respectively. I used to have it run at 100Hz magically somehow, but my HD died and I had to reinstall because I am an idiot and never backed up anything. Now my refresh rate sits at 77Hz and I don't know how to make it higher. I run 1024x768x32bit. My video card is a Diamond Viper V330 with 8MB of RAM, all properly recognized. My monitor is a MAG DJ530. Any ideas? Thanks, Steve You need to have a proper mode defined in XF86Config... If you doesnt find a modeline hanging somewhere you can make your own, I suggest you read the XFree86-Video-Timings HOWTO, it is nicely explained. -Lex pgpKWJ9yOAs5q.pgp Description: PGP signature
