1)  Get XFree86.dsl
2)  Read all instructions and info thoroughly and install.
3)  Set resolution in XF86Config-4 file to 800x600 @ 85hz

The built-in XVesa server will only run at Vesa 2.0 refresh rates (60Hz).  If you have a video card with a DOS based adjustment utility or a VBE 3.0 compiant card and use a DOS program like VBEHZ you can adjust the default refresh rate to 85HZ and then boot DSL using loadlin.exe  But this is not an automatic solution, either.

I have a similar thread under "Other help topics" about refresh rates. I have googled it but found some conflicting information. In the XF86Config file what lines do I need to edit? I believe that these are the two lines:

HorizSync 30-70
VertRefresh 50-160

This is what they are at without modification. Any insight would be appreciated.
