Getting better screen refresh rate in X?



Hi folks,

I've recently got sarge properly working on my system, and one issue
that remains is the screen refresh rate.  Under Red Hat Linux 9, i was
able to get 1400 x 1050 @ 85 Hz out of my screen.  Under sarge, i only
get 75 Hz.

Here is the definition from my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 on both systems.

sarge:
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "BMS:088b"
        HorizSync       30-98
        VertRefresh     50-160
        Option          "DPMS"
EndSection


RHL9:
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "19CF"
        HorizSync    30.0 - 98.0
        VertRefresh  50.0 - 160.0
        Option      "dpms"
EndSection

As you can see, the definitions are the same in terms of specs.  I'm
guessing there is a database of mode definitions somewhere and i need to
copy the relevant definition from my RHL9 database, but i can't for the
life of me find where it is.  Any clues?  Or am i barking up the wrong tree?

Thanks,
Paul
