Hi I dual boot. I just logged into Vista in the first time for several months, downloaded a lot of updates.

I'm back in Ubuntu and the refresh rate is killing me.

I go to change it, but only 60 is given as an option.

I tried to install DDC Control but it doesn't work.

I've got the intel 950 gma integrated graphics and an older ViewSonic CRT.

Seems like someone must have similar issues?

Okay after fiddling with xorg and modelines etc...

Tried unplugging and replugging my monitor. That did it.
