How do I find the horizontal and vertical refresh rate specs for laptop monitor?
I have a new Alienware Area 51-m with a 16.1" screen. I _really_ want to find the horizontal and vertical refresh rates for it so I can finish configuring the ATI drivers.
Can anyone tell me where I can find that information (other than Alienware--who doesn't seem to post it)? Thanks. |
Thats SUCKY.... the comany should put details like that in the instuction manual,
they have on all the monitors i have owned. phone the comany, or go to the shop u got it from. |
or simply email their support

maybe I'm wron but in /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 there are lines:
HorizSync 30.0 VertRefresh 50.0 this tells to use exactly 30 and 50, if you change it to HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0 it will autodetect. |

lol, yeah i think u are wrong cat.
on all the distro's ive used, X has tried to use the fastest refresh in the XFConfig file, which if its set too high causes the monitor to flash warning's at me. setting a too high re-fresh will damage your monitor. (unless like my monitor it powers off if u set it too high) |
