Hello Everyone, Well, I dove into the LCD Monitor world. I will have to say that I am very pleased. There is one thing though that I am trying to figure out. The LCD Monitor that I bought, LG Electronics L1710BK, is supposed to be able to support 75Hz at 1280x1024. When X starts, it only goes to 60Hz. Now, if I change the resoultion down to 1024x768 I do get 75Hz. Thinking I would be smart and trick Xorg, I changed the VertRefresh line to 75.0 - 75.0 just to see. However, it ended up tricking me by falling to 1024x768 resoultion. I then decided, well maybe it really can't handle 75Hz at 1280x1024 and so I did a bit more research. However, every spec sheet I can find on this monitor says it can handle 75Hz at this resoultion. My question, is there a way that I can change the refresh rate to 75Hz or should I take that when X starts up that it falls to 60Hz a sign? If all these spec lists about this monitor is right I can handle this rate; however, Xorg doesn't seem to think so. If needed, here is my xorg.conf: # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the # file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally # no need to change the default. # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.
