I'm running Slackware 11.0 with a Dell E773c monitor, which I run at 1280x960 @ 72Hz refresh in winXP. I've installed the nvidia driver and I am currently using it. I use KDE, and KRandRTray (screen resize and rotate) doesn't give me the 72 hz refresh option at 1280x960. It is showing my refresh rate as 51 hz, but pressing the "menu" button on my monitor says it's running at 59.9 Hz vertical and 59.9 kHz horizontal refresh. Also, using 1024x768, the same app gives the following refresh rates, which map to different refresh rates for my screen:
KRandRTray: ---> actual: (V, Hz / H, kHz)
53 ------------> 84.9 / 68.6
58 ------------> 74.9 / 60.0
60 ------------> 70.2 / 56.5
61 ------------> 59.8 / 48.1
62 ------------> 87.1 / 35.5
here's my xorg.conf file:

I also have an integrated graphics processor as well, (intel i810) which is commented out of the file.
thanks for your help.
