I'm really frustrated...
All I want to do is switch my refresh rate in X to something more sane. Right now it's using the MAXIMUM refresh rate that my monitor supports, and the result is FUGLY. I want 1280x1024@70hz. But apparently getting what you want in XF86Config is far from easy...
I've tried constructing my own modeline and adding it to the Section "Monitor", but it didn't seem to use the new line I had just created. Instead, it uses so-called "VESA Standard" modes which are apparently built-in, but completely undocumented anywhere on the XFree86 site.
Is there no way to just add in Section "Screen" something like the following?
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024@70" "1024x768@75"
EndSubSection
If anyone can help an annoyed X user, I would appreciate it!
