as a more general query encompassing some of the questions i've been asking lately regarding video, does anyone have any advice on using f10 and a decently-equipped laptop to create a basic video image generator?
at a bare minimum, i need to be able to pump out WUXGA video on an external port (DVI, HDMI or possibly the newer display port). beyond that, in order to test external video equipment, i'd dearly love to be able to adjust the refresh rate (from 60Hz down, possibly as low as 50Hz, just to see the effect on some hardware).
in terms of colour correction, i can see that xorg.conf already gives me the freedom to adjust gamma values in Monitor sections, so that's useful. and additional software that lets me examine/adjust video timings would be most excellent.
anyway, you get the idea. has anyone been doing this sort of thing in aid of video manipulation? thanks.

p.s. obviously, if there's a particular distro that is strong in this area, i'm sure you'd be happy to tell me about it, even if it isn't fedora. :-)
