Nvidia driver's refresh rate 100Hz


Hi,

Currently, i am using Nvidia driver from nvidia.com,
and it's refresh rate is 85Hz @ 1280x1024.

I want it's refresh rate would be 100Hz @ 1280x1024.

When i use this p4 with Winxp, it's refresh rate always 100Hz.
No flickering, more stable look.

Thanks

PS: It worked, still 85Hz @ 1280x1024. But it looks like 100Hz @ 1280x1024.

I guess more useful information will be in nvidia.com forum site.

Do the vertrefresh and horizsync settings in the xorg configuration file reflect the capabilities of your monitor?

Yes, it can. that's why my monitor can display it at 100Hz @ 1024x768 in Winxp
Now, it much better than before. more stable look but not as much as winxp.
still 85Hz @ 1024x768 or 85Hz @ 1280x1024 in linux.

PS: You were right. updating xorg.conf made it 100Hz @ 1024x768.
And, even if in WinXP, my monitor could't be displayed 100Hz @ 1280x1024.


Here is some of my xorg.conf which modeline is generated by gtf 1024 768 100
Quote:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
VendorName "Plug'n play"
Modelname "SyncMaster"
# HorizSync 30.0 - 96.0
# VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0

# 1024x768 @ 100.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 81.40 kHz; pclk: 113.31 MHz
Modeline "1024x768_100.00" 113.31 1024 1096 1208 1392 768 769 772 814 -HSync +Vsync

# 1280x1024 @ 100.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 108.50 kHz; pclk: 190.96 MHz
Modeline "1280x1024_100.00" 190.96 1280 1376 1520 1760 1024 1025 1028 1085 -HSync +Vsync

EndSection
PPS:
Back to My favorite resolution, My favorite resolution is
85Hz(100Hz) @ 1280x1024(./gtf 1280 1024 100) in linux
100Hz @ 1024x768 in WinXP

PPPS:
My favorite resolution changed. Because of time-independent stability.
100Hz 1024x768 in linux
100Hz 1024x768 in winxp
