I am using Fedora Core 2. The monitor settings(gdm) does not have refresh rate option. I want to make it exactly 100 HZ(My system supports this value in Windows). I have Geforce 2 MX 100/200 card and have installed propritary driver from nVidia. I looked in the xorg.conf file. There is not any entry about refrash rate. Thanks in advance. Manish ********************************************************* I have been in the same situation, and the settings pointed out in the other reply are the ones I've changed as well. However, the drive from nvidia will actually try to get the maximum capabilites of your monitor and not overclock it. This only works though with monitors that pass that information back to the video card when requested. All modern monitors should do this. I found that out trying to run 120Hz on a high resolution on my monitor, which would work on the "nv" driver, but not the "nvidia" one. In the end it pays to be cautious, try to approach the refresh rate from the lower end. Cheers James _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
