4 I have a ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card (lspci says ATI Technologies,
5 device 5940, rev 01) which currently drives my monitor at 48.5 kHz 60
6 Hz 1024x768 using x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r4 and the "radeon" driver.
7 I would like to raise the refresh rate to 75 Hz. How do I do that?
8
9 Various Google searches have turned me up empty, except that possibly
10 the answer lies in the ModeLine used. Is that correct and if so, what
11 values would I need to tune to adjust the refresh rate?
12
13 /etc/X11/xorg.conf says that the vertical refresh rate is "50-90" Hz.
