Howdy, Im having a bit of trouble, Im recently installed RH 7.3 and would like a higher screen reso rather than 800x600, now my problem is that my monitor only supports upto 56Hz, now in windows 2000, I change one setting to 56Hz, then this would allow my monitor to goto 1024x768 without screaming, Now i've tried Xconfigurator. and xvidtune with no avail, I would just like to know if i can change just the refresh to 56Hz and nothing else??
Many thanks indeed!

I cant really edit the x86config file or whatever it is, because i dont know the vertical or horizontal sync ranges etc, My monitor is an ICL 14c, And my monitor company have no info on my model, so i cant get these ranges, And all i know is that it runs ok at 1024x768 @ 56Hz

Nah it tells me nothing on the back of my monitor part from freaking voltage to use it at!!
Im using an SiS agp 64Mb onboard crap,
And b4 i got this board i had an old matrox millenium 4mb card in here, and that worked fine when i set it to 1024x768, it would default to 56Hz for me, Must of been the ages of it! was pretty old
Never mind, I will have live crampt for now.
