XFree86 - resolution problems
 

Hi,

I'm having a little trouble getting Xf86 to run in the resolution/refresh-rate that i'd like. The specs of my monitor are as follows:

Bandwidth: 157MHz
Horizontal Freq: 30-96 KHz
Vert Freq: 47-160 Hz

The values I have set in my XF86Config file are:
HorizSync 30-96
VertRefresh 47-160
and my "modes" are set to "1280x1024" in the relevant Subsection (depth 24)

I can't get my monitor to run 70hz @ 1280x1024 - instead it runs at only 60Hz which really hurts my eyes. If i set the VertRefresh to 70, it reverts to 1024x768@60Hz.

How can I force it to run 70Hz, or even 75 Hz? (the monitor definately supports those rates at 1280*1024).

Any help greatly appreciated :scratch:

Here are some links I have collected that may help.
