How to set up GRUB for vga mode?
hii, How can I set my to run my linux konsole in 1024x768 and 24 bits and 85 HZ? I am running KDE with 100HZ and want the same in command.

The problem is that my refresh rate is low, how to fix it up?
in KDE it 100HZ in Terminal (not X) its 60 |

Here I'll save you a bit of time; Code:

Is it that hard? Why? |
What distro are you using? If SUSE, from the Kde menu, select System -> Configuration -> SaX2, then configure to your hearts content.
Other distros should have similar tools. |
