The X server will use the vertica refresh and horizontal refresh frequncies that you specify in the ModeLine you're using. The two lines shown below are only used as limits that keep your X server from attempting to push the video adapter or monitor too high (possibly causing one of them to have serious problems in the process): HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0 The part that tells your X server what horizontal and vertical refresh rate to use is the ModeLine if you have one. If you search in Google for "+x11 +modeline" you will find lots of pages that explain what a ModeLine is, how to set it up, even some links to CGI scripts that will guide you through the process of calculating the proper values for a custom ModeLine of yours. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
