Posted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 10:07 pm Post subject: Refresh rate, nvidia and Xorg! [SOLVED] |
|
|
I need help setting my monitor to 120HZ for 640*480, i have no idea how to do this using xorg.conf or nvidia-settings... nvidia-settings only shows as high as 85hz for this resolution.
I'm using a ViewSonic E70 17" CRT monitor and a Geforce4 mx420 with the nvidia-96 proprietary driver from portage.
I really need 640*480 to get to 120 hz, should be simple enough!
Need more info ? Just ask
Thanks! _________________ Would you mind telling me why there is ricearoni in my coffee!?

I know it can, always had it set at 120 at 640*480 in other os's(winxp) so that's not up for debate.

So what am I suppose to be looking for here ?
I'm completely lost when it comes to Xorg and everything display related in linux, it's hard work!
Edit: It's absolutely vital that I get this working properly, I really don't wanna have to dual boot! This has to be possible. _________________ Would you mind telling me why there is ricearoni in my coffee!?

Original post said Quote: | ... nvidia-settings only shows as high as 85hz for this resolution. | How do you get around that to set 120hz using nvidia-settings? I'm thinking a custom mode line is the only possibility.
