Display Problem


Hey, Im running Suse 10.1 useing an Nvidia 6800GT. Iv installed the nvidia drivers, the nvidia splash screen shows up on startup so im guessing its working fine but heres my problem, I need to use a 60Hz rate with my monitor or else it shakes and the text gets fuzzy. But it will only allow me to use a 85Hz rate... Is there anyway to manually change this?

Thanks in advance.

did you try making a custom modeline? About the only thing I can think of trying at this point. Do you use a CRT or LCD monitor, and what kind of connnector does it use? (DVI or VGA)
