Is everybody satisfied with the screen refresh rate?

The refresh rate on my screen is 60 HZ and this terrible.

Apart from installing a full X-server (on a HD installation) there isn't much you can do. Search the forum to find out how to do this.

On 3 different machines there is the same horrifying screen refresh rate (I suppose it is about 60 HZ).

No way out?

Try seaching the forums.

There was a post that described how you could use third party DOS tools like VBEHZ or ATI / NVIDIA specific tools to set your VESA refresh rate to something besides 60HZ.

The general idea is:

1) Boot into MSDOS/Win9x True DOS prompt/FreeDOS
2) Use the appropriate Video card DOS utility program
3) Use "loadlin" program to boot into DSL using a VESA framebuffer mode.
4) Choose "xfbdev" server for your xsetup.

Or you can do a hard disk install and replace the DSL Xwindows servers with the full-blown XFree86 system.
