Are you saying that a H and V rates are not needed at all?

It took me several tries to get a working XF86Config-4, and I ended up
searching the web for that and PowerBook and after looking at some different
ones, I chose a specific refresh rate. I looked all over and couldn't find the
actual refresh rate for the LCD, Apple doesn't seem to have it on their site,
it doesn't appear to be in my Getting Started book, I just couldn't find it
anywhere.

(this is for a Pismo)
HorizSync   31.5
VertRefresh 78.7

I had got 31.5h and 75v from the web, but when I looked in the diagnostics
from startup it seemed to be setting itself to 78.7v, so I changed it. I had
some variable numbers, like HorizSync 31.5 - 48.5 and  VertRefresh 50-70, but
it didn't like that at all.

What are others using on a Pismo? (since this thread was originally for an
iBook, I'll change the subject line to make it a broader thread)
