X and Fluxbox :: Refresh rate (again)

This distro has only ONE major problem - 60 hz refresh rate.
If we could have the option of 56 (old pc) or 72 (new pc),
that would be great. I have a Trident Blade 3D (1998) which
runs 800x600x16 at 75 hz, but when it dies - then what?
Otherwise, this is a fantastic distro, a real rose amongst some
genuine thorns! I have tried more than a dozen distros - some
don't print; some don't surf; and some just don't go. Most are junk.
Vector & Mepis sort of go. My Billious mates laugh!

have a look at xserverrc (cannot remember the location but probably in your home dir) i think you can set that to use a different refresh rate.

welcome to the forums

Sorry, that refresh rate setting doesn't work. The only way to fix it, is to install XFree86 or X.org on a hard disk installation of DSL.

Hi.

Thanks folks. Some time ago, someone
was working on a .dsl package for xfree
- has that project been discontinued?

regards,
Dave
