the problem with my monitor in the linux i don't have 100 hertz max to choose,but in the windows xp and 2000 and 98 i can choose 100 hertz max.
i asked in other forum about this and they told me that i most choose my monitor from the list and if the monitor isn't show in the list i must write a code to the linux if i want the linux will work with my monitor.
so i search my monitor in the list of the fc3 and i found my monitor,but still it's wont give me 100 hertz to choose,only 60 hertz max.
short name: (monitor) Hyundai 17 7770
full namemonitor) 17" DELUXSCAN 7770
my screen card is: radeon 7000/radeon ve but isn't instelled in full mode only base options,because i din't found driver to the ati card for linux.
the linux has instelled the radeon 7000/radeon ve with base options.
so what can i do,can some one help me?
i use rigth now in the xp because in the linux i don't have 100 hertz,so i copy the files to a floppy and pass them to the xp and from him to here.
i didn't found the file: "etc/x11/xf86config-4"
so i copy this files,they are update when i chage my monitor.

You might try running 'X -probeonly' to find out the possible clock frequencies that can be used. You may need to include a ModeLine entry in your configuration for 100 Hz vertical refresh, after verifying the your Monitor and Card can handle it for the selected resolution and depth.
A refresh rate of 85 should look fine however. I doubt that your eyes will notice the difference.
how can change the configuration for 100 Hz vertical,if i selected my monitor all ready and i get only 85 Hz?

with files and where?
or it's some fine else that i have change?
X is the actually name for the XFree86 server that runs. If you use the -probeonly option, it will analyze your system and report back the possible frequencies you could try. The timings how to in my previous response has instructions on how to calculate the values to use for ModeLine entries in your /etc/X11/XF86config file. If there is an XF86config-4 file, you should use that instead. For the new X.org X windows server, there is an xorg.config configuration file but it is probably a link to XF86config.
If this sounds like too much work to change from 85 Hz to 100 Hz for the vertical sync rate, You may be right. I wouldn't bother with it myself because I wouldn't notice any gain.

the nxet files:
1:\prefdm
2:\x
3:\Xmodmap
4:\xorg.conf
5:\xorg.conf.backup
6:\Xresources
7:\X.rpmsave
with one of them is tell the linux to give the monitor 85 hz only?

I DO notice the difference. I used to use my Samsung Syncmaster 757 with 85 Hz I got headaches after an hour or so. When I got it working with 105 Hz (although the manual claims it can run only 1024x768@100Hz) I didn't get any headaches anymore. (but if I play counterstrike with this monitor I get even at 800x600@140Hz headaches after 1,5 hours)
that the problem am getting a headaches after 1-1.5 with the 85 hz
on the xp i can hours on hours and am not getting a headaches,only after 10 hour plus minues.
that is why am tried getting 100 hz in the linux has i got in the xp system.
