Hey all,
In XFree86, are the possibly refresh rates and screen modes dictated
solely by the monitor, or does the video card also affect them?
I have a 17" Dell M770 monitor, which _should_ be able to do 1024x768 at
75 Hz, but the best I can get is 1024x768 with 8-bit color, and the
refresh rate is definitely _not_ 75 Hz. (I don't know how to exactly check
the refresh rate though. How do you do that?)
The video card is just some cheap S3 Trio ("Unsupported RAMDAC" according
to the X auto configure thing). ... could its cheapness be the cause of my
troubles? What sort of video card would I need to get in order to run X at
a decent resolution and refresh rate?
Thanks in advance,
Ross "the ever-increasingly on-topic" Werner
