Maybe You can try ModeLine option in the Monitor section. More details - man 5 xorg.conf You can generate ModeLine string by gtf(1) or on the http://www.dkfz-heidelberg.de/spec/linux/modeline/ And remember, that very hight frequency values may DAMAGE Your monitor. Be careful. =2D-=20 Best regards, Simon Phoenix (Phoenix Lab.) =2D-------------------------------------------------------------- KeyID: 0x2569D30B =46ingerprint: 78FC 5C40 07CC D331 148E CC79 84B8 D514 2569 D30B =2D-------------------------------------------------------------- --nextPart2535635.gz5skPsvVV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBE6PM4hLjVFCVp0wsRA/DxAKCuxOflEt9aKjgG9G0l34fteuH5tQCfaJf0 fEgBqJApYwMNDwpy1Ab4dcA= =2hq9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2535635.gz5skPsvVV--
