Diablo II Refresh Rate (Solved)

Whenever I start Diablo II it sets a werid Refresh Rate that causes my Monitor to be unable to display! Is there a way either in the xorg.conf or in Diablo II to specify a Refresh that must never be changed or safe ones that always must be met?

All I can think of is running it in a virtual desktop through winecfg, that way it's in windowed mode and uses your desktop resolution/refresh rate. The game should have it's own refresh rate config options.

Yea that is what I am doing right now. The only downside is that if you move the pointer to the top of the screen the KDE bar appears and that I have to change the resolution to 800x600 before playing every time

Re: Diablo II Refresh Rate (Solved)

After the latest update with nvidia graphic's driver I had to add an entry in xorg.conf in order to force the apropriate refresh rate (for any resolution besides 1024x768)

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 1"
    Device      "NVIDIa GeForce FX 5200"
    Monitor     "Belinea"
    DefaultDepth 24
    Option         "TwinView" "0"
    Option         "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0"
    Option         "metamodes" "1024x768_75 +0+0; 800x600_75 +0+0; 640x480_75 +0+0"

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes       "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes       "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection

What you need to add is: (If, of course it's not already there)

    DefaultDepth 24
    Option         "TwinView" "0"
    Option         "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0"
    Option         "metamodes" "1024x768_75 +0+0; 800x600_75 +0+0; 640x480_75 +0+0"
