Topic: [Solved]Can't get refresh over 60hz
I've been messing with this most of the morning. I'm running Crunch on my desktop computer with a Geforce 8500, Nvidia drivers are installed. I'm trying to get 1024x786 75hz, but it insists on running 60hz.
jason@crunchbang:~$ nvidia-settings -q RefreshRate
Attribute 'RefreshRate' (crunchbang:0.0; display device: CRT-1): 60.00 Hz.
'RefreshRate' is an integer attribute.
'RefreshRate' is a read-only attribute.
'RefreshRate' is display device specific.
'RefreshRate' can use the following target types: X Screen, GPU./etc/X11/xorg.conf

EndSectionYou'll probably noticed lines that I added & commented out, that's from my experimenting. I know the monitor can do 75hz, it worked under windoze for a long time. PClinux could do 70 without any editing, right from the gui. But Crunch/Debian is fighting me. I don't know enough about xorg to know what the deal is and how to fix it. I've messed with xrandr, and it insists that it can only do 60. I used gtf to get a mode line that didn't seem to do me any good. I've been to the "[Solved] - HAL & NVIDIA drivers" post, which attempted to use the info there. I've googled for debian related without much luck.
I need some help, 60hz gives me a headache over time.
