Hi Matthias,
Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately none of the two modelines you provided work correctly. With
the first one I have 69 Hz and with the second one 75 Hz.
No matter what modeline I use, I have 60 Hz at startup and I can change with
xrandr to 75 Hz, which actually is only 69 Hz and this ain't confortable for
the eyes at all.
This is my xrandr -q output:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024
default connected 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1280x1024      60.0     75.0*
   1280x960       60.0     63.0
   1152x864       75.0     70.0     65.0     60.0
   1024x768       75.0     70.0     60.0     65.0
   800x600        75.0     72.0     60.0     56.0     70.0     65.0
   1152x768       55.0
   832x624        75.0
   700x525        75.0     60.0
   640x512        75.0     60.0
   640x480        75.0     73.0     67.0     60.0
   720x400        70.0
   576x432        75.0
   576x384        55.0
   512x384        75.0     70.0     60.0
   416x312        75.0
   400x300        75.0     72.0     60.0     56.0
   320x240        75.0     73.0     60.0

The 75 Hz listed for 1024x768 is not 75 Hz in reality either. :(
Anything else I could try?
Thanks!
