Anyone have anyi dea why my monitor is stuck at 60Hz when the only Modeline in my xf86config file is:

# 1024x768 @ 100Hz, 80.21 kHz hsync
Modeline "1024x768" 115.5 1024 1056 1248 1440 768 771 781 802

Thanks tons for any help

you have to show some more info such as your /var/log/XFree86.0.log

The combination of Horiz and Vert was out of range so it skipped to the next available functional combination. The easiest way of restricting the refresh rate is to give the monitor a singular VertRefresh rating, but a range of HorizSync that is available to your monitor so that it'll take whatever Horiz your monitor likes to match up to the Vert.

Thanks for the replys =)

The monitor is a Sony Multiscan G220

HorizSync 30 - 96
VertRefresh 48 - 170

I tried manually setting up man monitor(to the best of my abilities), and yet it is still stuck at 60Hz.

Where could I get a list of HorizSync my monitor would accept?

Thanks )

The one time I had a monitor Hrz setting I wanted to change. I was trying to get two monitors in a dual head rig not to fight, so I just set the Horiz to one number, just as long as the monitor manual says it can do it... so:

HorizSync 75
VertRefresh 48 -170
