Solaris 10 and its screen refresh/res moniter problem

Mr. Hill · 03-29-2005, 11:58 AM

I cannot seem to change my refresh rate to get my screen looking normal. I have these large black bar around my screen. Usually I can just go in and change my refresh rate and my screen res if I need to. Now my res. is just fine (1024x768) but the refresh rate is stuck at 75HZ. What file do I need to edit to give me access to change the refresh rate? Thanks.

That's depend on what X11 server you are using, Xorg or Xsun.

If it is Xorg, then the file is /etc/X11/xorg.conf (create one with /usr/X11R6/bin/xorgconfigure) and play with it ...

One advice, have a networked access to your PC ready to allow reverting to a working conf in case of problems.

OK thanks.

Not for sure what you mean really by server. I use the Java desktop (the one that looks like Gnome) so I guess it's xsun. I had the same problem with FreeBSD and I just edited the xorg file. I'll try to edit the xorg file later thanks again.
