DSL Tips and Tricks :: refresh monitor frequency how to ?



Salve!
Do you know how can I change the refresh frequency of my monitor with DSL?
I think it is very slow, about 60Hz. It is impossible to look at the monitor for more than a few minutes.
Thanks!

See XFree86.* extension in mydsl.
For some reason my s3virge video cards (1996 model 4mb ram) get a refresh rate of 74hz while most all others get 60hz.  Independent of the monitor, as well.  I also have an nVidia card (a good one - ~2001 32mb ram) that also gets 74hz refresh rate.  All the rest seem to be stuck with 60hz.  74hz is quite livable and pleasant to the eyes.  I have heard that Xvesa will let some hardware get better refresh rates and not others.  I guess so.
