Raising refresh

Hey, I've looked all through XF86Config and can't find anyway to increase the refresh rate.  I got mozilla to work (first time I didn't have to reboot) but I eyes can't take much more..

Re: Raising refresh

in the monitor section :

Section "Monitor"
      Identifier  "Medion"
      HorizSync   50-70
      VertRefresh 50-120
EndSection

HorizSync and VertRefresh are the settings u wanna change ....
don't forget to check ur monitor manual before changing the values, because
it _could_ be, if ur monitor is really really old - it could be damaged....

Re: Raising refresh

Better way is to write XFree86 modelines either by hand or using utilities like: http://www.dynaweb.hu/opensource/videogen/
