There's the problem it shows only 800x600 and 1024x768 and you have to click some button to select anythig different. The refresh rate is how X work and is reasonoble because it prevents you from having 640x480@160 ;-) IMHO if you really want 100Hz you can edit the config. -- Michal Suchanek [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Problem with monitor refresh (LG 795 FT+)
First of al thank you very much for your response. I have this monitor LG FLATRON 795FT+, and is able to have a resolution of 1024x768 at 100 Hz. In fact under Xfree86 3.3.6 it works in that way. But under Xfree86 4.2.0 it only works at 85 Hz. It seems X4 defaults to 85 Hz max for all modes and the default config contains no modelines for default modes. If you want different timing you can try copying modelines from XF86config to XF86Config-4 or writing your own. Ok, nothing new for me here, but doesn't matter, thanks! I amn using a MDK 8.2, and this monitor is not recogniced by the X wizard, so i have to put it as a generic monitor with similar refresh times. Does it appear in the list of monitors? If so, you should select it there. Otherwise you can set the capabilities in /etc/X11/XF86Configi-4. It should include de cumentation or you can have a look at man XF86Config. No, the monitor doesn't appear in the list of monitors. My graphics card is a TNT2 M64 (PixelView All-in-ComboTV 128) with 32 MBs, so this is not the problem.
