X and Fluxbox :: Screen refresh rate

I have the same problem with refresh rate and wondering what can I do. I have ATI RAGE II+ 4MB video card. In Win98 it gives 1024x768 16bit @ 85 Hz with no problem. Kind of hard to work with this blinking:(

My advice would be to

do what I just said in my previous post...

Install XFree86.dsl and then read the instructions and change your monitor refresh rate in the XF86Config-4 file.

Thanks for your support! It helped!

If your monitor refreshes at 60Hz, do not use fluorescent lamps in your room. Use incandescent lamps or, better yet, a candlestick. Aromatheraphy candles will work too. A bit more nerdy solution will be to use those white LED lamps connected to a regulated AC-to-DC power supplies.

Some people can "sense" the 60 Hz refresh rate, regardless of the room's illumination - sort of a corner-of-the-eye flickering that's annoying, especially after a rock-solid 70+ refresh rate.

If I can't change the refresh rate to something higher, DSL gets demoted to the very occasional laptop use, unless I plunk down dough for a LCD display...

cbagger01, thank you.
