Folks, I just moved from a CRT display (apparently with a Refresh Rate of 85Hz) to a Princeton SENergy 714 LCD (which apparently supports a maximum Refresh Rate of 75Hz). When I made the move, I immediately saw the problem (Linux FC3 video trying to refresh at 85Hz, but that was not acceptable to new LCD, therefore no display.) So I reconnect the CRT, logged in as one of the users, and changed the Linux FC3 video refresh rate from 85Hz to 75Hz. I then reconnected the new LCD and everything worked fine for the userid for which I made the change. However, when I logout of that userid, the Linux video drivers revert to a Refresh Rate of 85Hz and I loose the display. By the way, the video is on the motherboard and it supports AGP Rev 2.0 (if that means anything relative to this problem), and I cannot find any BIOS settings that determine video Refresh Rate. So what's going on here? Must I change the Refresh Rate for root and all other users? Is there any way to do it one for all users for all eternity (i.e., I don't want it to revert back to 85Hz at any time.) Thanks . . . Bob St. John
