stuck at 75hz even tho it says 85

When I start x, either kde or gnome..l i can't get my monitor to go to 85 hz... kde even shows that is what it is set at.. but it just isn't It's obvious to me it isn't.

are you saying you can 'see' the difference between 75hz and 85hz ?

no the problem was that even though x indicated an 85 hz refresh rate.. it was only at 75 hz.

I installed the proprietary ati driver.. and that remedied it though.. thanks.
