Re: [vox-tech] Debian Sarge, Video and Monitor Configuration
The refresh rate is in /etx/X11/XF86Config-4, under the monitor section:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Panasonic"
HorizSync 30-100
VertRefresh 50-160 <---- here; apparently my monitor
Option "DPMS" can handle 50Hz to 160Hz
EndSection
For LCD monitors, though, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what refresh
rate you use -- it ends up being 60Hz. Maybe I'm wrong, but LCD monitors
are all very similar in its refresh rate. It'll make a difference if you
plug in an external CRT monitor to your laptop, though then your refresh
rate will depend on the external monitor's capability.
