Hi guys, back in 7.10 I used a screen resolution of 1280x800 (as high as the resolution dialog allowed) and I could get a refresh rate of something around 60 (I'm not entirely sure, but it was around there).
Now that I updated to 8.04 after installing the nvidia drivers I was glad to see I could go all the way up to 1400x900 (which is the best for my monitor) but not happy to see that the highest refresh rate was 52Hz, even if I tried a lower resolution the refresh rate combo box would not go higher.
So I followed the instructions here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973
to try to get 1400x900@60.
I have a LG L192WS monitor and an integrated GeForce 6100.
I'll post my xorg.conf file at the bottom of the post.
The main problem I'm having is that after doing these changes the Screen Resolution dialog still says I'm at 52Hz and I'm not sure if this is correct or not, maybe I did get it to 60 but I can't really tell.
So is there anyway to make sure my refresh rate is at least at 60 now?
Thanks in advance for any help.
