How to change refresh rate, because it is 56Hz. I tried with -screen 800x600x16x72@0 in .xserverrc but it doesn`t works.

I dont have personal experience with it, but you may find Xfree86 helpfull. It can be found as an extension here.

Hi, I need to change my refresh rate too but I cannot find .xserverrc . Do I have to add this file manually and where do I have to add it. Another one: should I use Xvesa or Xfbdev server ?
Thanks

.xserverrc can be found in /home/dsl. Note that since it starts with a period it is a hidden file so in emelfm you will need to click the 'H' button to see it or if you are using the shell you will need to use 'ls -a'.
As far as Xvesa or Xfbdev, I would try xvesa first and than if you experience difficulties than try xfbdev.

I have tryed both Xvesa and Xfbdev by adding -screen 1024x768x32x100@0 in .xserverrc and nothing changed. All ideas are welcome.

P.S. I`ve read somewhere that XVesa on KDrive/TinyX does not support change to the refresh rate.

Correct.

Xvesa only supports video modes defined in your video card's bios, and Xfbdef uses the linux framebuffer device.

If you need t, get the Xfree86.dsl
