is that an lcd or crt monitor ?
if it is lcd, then just use 60
if it's a crt, then a 19" should be able to do 1024x768@ 100hz and 1280X758 at 85 / 75hz
u can prob use vert sync of 30-96 and horizontal of 85, depending on your res etc. _________________ Kororaa install method - have Gentoo up and running quickly and easily, fully automated with an installer! |

Sorry, it is a CRt monitor, and this is the resolution I would like to run it in
1280x1024 or 1600x1280 area...
well atleast 1280x1024 anyway
I know it can run in windows at 100hz in 1280x1024, but what is my refresh rate? lol
know how I can import windows timing to linux, know any detection tools?
mobprobe don't do nothing.. and I don't really want to play with setting all sort of refresh rate, I heard it can wreak monitors, is that true? |
