Just installed Woody, problem with refresh rate
I'm trying Linux again after being away from it for a couple of years.
My first attempt back then was with Slink, but I couldn't get the
internet connection to work properly.
Woody installed so easily, and I'm able to use Mozilla now. But my
problem is with the refresh rate of my screen. The screen has a bad
flicker at 37.8KHz/60Hz. I remember from Slink that I had to run
XF86Config and supply the horizontal and vertical scanning ranges. Mine
are 31.5-70 KHz and 50-120 Hz. Under Windows my refresh rate was
53.5/85. I tried running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 because I
noticed that I had not supplied the video card ID and monitor ID. But
the problem still exists. Has anyone had a similar problem? Any
thoughts on how to fix it?
Thanks,
Peter Christensen
