Monitor Refresh Rate

[Eduard Kriegler]

I've tried various modeline settings and also fixing the VertRefresh to
80-85. But still the refresh rate is only 60Hz.

Extracts from my XFConfig86:

Section "Monitor"
	DisplaySize  310 230
	HorizSync    30-70
	Identifier   "MON_17INCH"
	#Identifier   "Monitor[0]"
	ModelName    "107E"
	Option       "DPMS"
	VendorName   "PHILIPS"
	VertRefresh  80-85
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "i810"
	VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
	BoardName   "Intel 865"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Videocard0"
	Monitor    "MON_17INCH"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth     16
		Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth     24
		Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth     32
		Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
EndSection
