[opensuse] Re: monitor sync ranges

Hi there,

I installed the latest Nvidia driver and it detected correctly my
graphics card and monitor. And assigned correctly the sync ranges. I'm
using the 1280x1024 mode.
But I wanted to lower the monitor frequencies to do a test. So I opened
sax2 and lowered the maximum values. But when I test the sax2
configuration it shows me the old high frequency values. Even if I save
the configuration (and looking at the /etc/X11/xorg.conf the ranges are
correctly modified) sax2 keeps on showing the old high values. Same if I
restart X.
My modified ranges are: HorizSync 28-65 kHz and VertRefresh 56-60 Hz.
But sax2 says, in that test screen, that the current values are 80kHz
and 75Hz.

So, is sax2 not showing the actual values or X is not using the values
in the range?
How can I be sure about the frequencies actually being used? Is there a
command that shows me this information?

xvidtune

And/or you can use your monitors "online" display. There usually is an
"Info"-item in the monitor setup menu that should display the monitor
settings.

Eberhard
