Adding refresh rates?

my xrandr list

$ xrandr
 SZ:    Pixels          Physical       Refresh
*0   1024 x 768    ( 271mm x 201mm )  *85   75   72   70   60   100  90  
 1    800 x 600    ( 271mm x 201mm )   85   75   72   70   60   56   100  90  
 2    720 x 576    ( 271mm x 201mm )   60  
 3    640 x 480    ( 271mm x 201mm )   85   75   72   60   100  90  
 4    640 x 400    ( 271mm x 201mm )   75   60  
 5    400 x 300    ( 271mm x 201mm )   75   60  
 6    320 x 240    ( 271mm x 201mm )   75   60  
 7    320 x 200    ( 271mm x 201mm )   75   60  
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal 
Reflections possible - none

I am pretty sure my monitor manages better Refresh rates that this, how can I add them in the xorg file?

thanks

Re: Adding refresh rates?

Section "Monitor"
    ...
    HorizSync  24.0 - 82.0
    VertRefresh 55.0 - 82.0
    ...
EndSection

Change those.

You can use EDID auto-detection too; google for 'gentoo wiki dual monitor' and that page has examples within it for using EDID.

Edit: Btw, make sure you look up the proper sync & refresh values for your monitor; they'll be on the manufacturer/seller's website, and may be on a sticker on the monitor back/base too.

Re: Adding refresh rates?

I do not think that is the problem, here pieces of my xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor0"
    VendorName   "Philips"
    ModelName    "109B4"
#    DisplaySize  360 270
    DisplaySize  269 201
    HorizSync    30.0 - 97.0
    VertRefresh  50.0 - 100.0
    Option       "dpms"
    Option       "UseEdidDpi" "false"
    Option       "DPI" "96 x 96"
EndSection

and

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Card0"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
        Modes "1024x768" "800x600"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

It is maybe about the `cvt' output program?

Re: Adding refresh rates?

My guess is you are using the nvidia-binary drivers?

    Option       "UseEdidDpi" "false"
    Option       "DPI" "96 x 96"

These option should go into the device section for your nvidia-card, not your monitor section.
