I have a ViewSonic VP171S TFT monitor, and radeon 9200SE, and I get about the same results as you. xvidtune doesnt lie to me though, it reports 60 Hz. OSD reports 60Hz. In Windows XP I can use 75Hz if I want (I think its default), but I have not noticed any difference in display quality either way. I have not tried with VGA cable like you. <div>On 10/31/05, Erik Ahlner <<a href="mailto:whyz@home.se">whyz@home.se</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Michel Dänzer wrote: >On Fri, 2005-10-28 at 17:26 +0200, Erik Ahlner wrote: > > >>I switched to nv driver instead of nvidia just to be certain that it >>wasn't the drivers fault, but that made no difference.

There's a VERY noticable difference between the two. Easy way to check: 60hz (DVI) gives me tearing when running the game at maxfps 60 (because fps rate similar to refresh rate tends to give tearing). I only need to adjust it a few hz from 60 and it is smooth. 75hz (VGA only atm :(() looks good at maxfps 77, which is the only fps rate i can use to maintain the physics of the game (yeah, i know it's stupid). Plus: the On Screen Display menu of the monitor tells me what the refresh rate is, as I earlier posted: <a href="http://whyz.mine.nu/imgp6252.jpg">http://whyz.mine.nu/imgp6252.jpg</a> Anyway, this is not the question whether it's sufficient for me or not, it's a serious BUG imo. The monitor handles 75hz (According to specs, which also has been successfully used in Windows via DVI and in Linux only via VGA), but Xorg refuses to deliver 75hz via DVI! With no changes whatsoever to xorg.conf, just switching from DVI output&input to VGA output&input, I get 75Hz. So, is there ANYONE that has successfully used more than 60hz via DVI using xorg in this list? Am i the only one that thinks it's weird?
