 Posted: Thu Dec 22, 2005 7:31 am Post subject: Refresh rates |
 |
|
I've got a new monitor (a Samsung SyncMaster 997MB), and I'm trying to get it working with X. As far as I can tell, it should be able to do 1400x1050 at 80Hz, and possibly at 85Hz, but I'm only given options for 75Hz and 60Hz. How do I get higher refresh rates?
The relevant section of my xorg.conf:
| Code: | Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Samsung 997MB"
HorizSync 30 - 96
VertRefresh 50-160
option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 2"
Device "nvidia0"
Monitor "Samsung 997MB"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1400x1050"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection |

| Perhaps it is your GPU that can't handle higher refresh rates? |

| Doubtful. It's a GeForce 6600GT. The specs in the manual say it can handle anything up to 2048x1536@85Hz, so I doubt it would have trouble with 1400x1050@85Hz. |

add these to the monitor section:
| Code: |
# 1400x1050 @ 85.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 93.76 kHz; pclk: 179.26 MHz
Modeline "1400x1050_85.00" 179.26 1400 1504 1656 1912 1050 1051 1054 1103 -HSync +Vsync
# 1400x1050 @ 80.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 87.92 kHz; pclk: 168.10 MHz
Modeline "1400x1050_80.00" 168.10 1400 1504 1656 1912 1050 1051 1054 1099 -HSync +Vsync

(the modelines are generated by gtf)
