Slackware 9.1 to 10

I've upgraded from Slackware 9.1 to 10, and am experiencing problems with
Xorg.
My monitor is a HP v72, which under 9.1 ran with 1024 x 768 resolution and a
vrefresh of 85.

After the Slackware 10 install its now running at 1024 x 768, but with a max
vrefresh of only 60. I've looked at xorg.conf. How do I set the refresh to
85.?

What I did was re run xorgconfig as a non root user and set up the refresh rates properly (look on the HP site for the correct vsync/hsync thingmejigs) and then copy of the right section of ~/xorgconfig

If you still have problems, feel free to post back :)

Simply rename /etc/X11/XF86Config to /etc/X11/xorg.conf !

As you were using slackware before, the file is the same !
If using mdk for example, which uses a font server, the fontlines in the file are different.

But from 9.1 to 10.0 (Slack), the files are the same
Worked fine for me, even with Nvidia (Last driver 6106)
