[solved]Display start at 1280*1024 @75 hz but i ned it to be @85hz

I have tried to run in root, nvidia-settings and saved to xorg.conf but  it always start att 75 hz.
So how to make  my desktop start at 1280*1024 85 Hz?

Is your Horizontal and Vertical hz settings correct? As far as I can tell, your xorg.conf looks ok.

Some users find the insertion of a preferred mode in monitor is a solution.

Re: [solved]Display start at 1280*1024 @75 hz but i ned it to be @85hz

I have tried to insert :
Modeline "1280x1024_85.00"  159.36  1280 1376 1512 1744  1024 1025 1028 1075
Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_85.00"

that i found in http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12  for an solution

but it also fails.perhaps i have to wait for an update nvidia driver or xorg driver.

My Horizontal and Vertical  are correct, i have check it in my manual for philips brilliance 109 p4  crt

thanks for your replay

I also reconfigured xorg whit xorgconfig instead of nvidia-settings and modified as above, same error.

Perhaps you will find that using .....CTL ALT +/-.... will enable your system to find the 85HZ mode.

Also, if using kde, the Krandrtray can be opened to allow you to select 85HZ in that tray right click menu.

Then set the config in KDE to start in that mode....

yes  ctrl alt + changes the desktop to 85 hz easier than trough  nvidia settings. thanks for that tip
But i use gnome and in "screen resolution" tab shows 1280*1024 but can only set 56 hz.

Perhaps gnome is the culprit!

The "56" figure is how nvidia driver handles refresh frequency reporting (this has something to do with Twinview setups) - it's a meaningless number from the users's perspective, it doesn't reflect the actual refresh frequency.   If you want to have the actual frequency reported in gnome you have to add

Option "DynamicTwinView" "false"

to the device section  in xorg.conf.  If you want to read more about this read this doc (the relevant info is towards the end.  http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L … dix-d.html

Not sure how to force 85Hz in your case.  I have a twinview setup and I have the following line in the device section of xorg.conf:

Option        "Metamodes"                 "CRT-0: 1280x1024_75, DFP-0: 1280x1024_75"

The refresh rates for my monitors respond to what is specified in this line...

Re: [solved]Display start at 1280*1024 @75 hz but i ned it to be @85hz

Thanks! the line [Option "DynamicTwinView" "false" ]  solved it.
i tested your other line to but  the line above alone solves it.

Now i can set  both resolution and refresh rate in gnome.
And 1280*1024 85 hz works now.
