    Hi,

    I'm having a little trouble altering the refresh rate of my monitor, I'm
    using a Philips 107E 17" CRT, I have manually edited the monitor
    sections in the xorg.conf file; it is as follows

    Section "Monitor"
             Identifier "Monitor0"
             VendorName "Philips"
             ModelName "107E"
             DisplaySize 360 270
             HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0
             VertRefresh 85
             Option "dpms"
    EndSection

    the values I got from http://www.i-tech.com.au/products/item792.asp. At
    the minute the refresh rate is far too slow, and changing to these
    values doesn't seem to have changed much, my machine dual boots fedora
    core 2 and win2k, in both I have a resolution of 1024*768, in win2k I
    have a refresh rate of 85Hz and I can see no flickering, how can I fix
    the flickering in fedora core 2 (gnome)?

    Oh, my graphics card is a S3 Trio 3D/2X, and in the hardware browser
    fedora has detected it right
