force linux to use a specified res?
hey everyone,
so i've got this nice new monitor, and i'm absolutely positive it runs at 1024x768 at up to 120 hz, as i've tested it on both a windows machine and a with knoppix. Knoppix auto sees it as hella low refresh rate since it doesn't seem to have ddc for some reason (its a refurbished dell trinitron. Old, but VERY nice). In knoppix, at boot i cant type: knoppix screen=1024x768 vrefresh=100 and it works with no problems. Promblem is, in my main computer (slackware), i can't get it to run at anything past 85 hz. If i go into my xf86config file and set the vrefresh to 100 instead of a range (60-120, with which it choses 85), i get screens found, but none have a usable configuration.
I've tried IgnoreEDID and NoDDC, but neither of those options work.
Any ideas?
thanks,
