The refresh rates are determined by your monitor at different resolutions and possible for different color depths (I am not sure about the latter). To check it change the color depth from 24 to 16 and see what happens. The way it fits on the screen (wider, longer, etc) are done by controls on the monitor. I ma not sure where they are on a laptop monitor though.
I'm pretty sure that the computer can determine what refresh rate to send to the monitor. In Desktop Properties -> Display there is a field Refresh Rate, but it sits at 0 hz for the 1400x1050 resolution and 60 hz for the 1024x768 resolution. On my desktop machine (currently kubuntu) I can choose between 60hz, 75 hz, and 85 hz for the 1024x768 resolution. I was hopful that I could adjust the screen size from the computeras well as the monitor is connected via KVM to the kubuntu box, and the output of that box is perfect on the monitor. So if I play with the monitor controls to fix FC6, I'd have a bad looking screen for the kubuntu box. Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com/what_is/quicktime.html http://cabab.com
