I have a new 19" CRT monitor
which I have set up with the use of xf86config in Slackware 9.1.

This monitor is rated

1600x1200  @ 75Hz
1280x1024  @ 85 Hz

I set it up as,
1600x1200

which is fair enough

but I'm sure I'm only geting 60Hz

I feel reasonably sure SW91 can do
1600x1200  @ 75Hz but I don't seem able to get it. Here is the monitor 
section

/etc/X11/xf86config

#    HorizSync   1600x1200 @ 75 Hz
      HorizSync   31.5-79

#    HorizSync    30-64         # multisync
#    HorizSync    31.5, 35.2    # multiple fixed sync frequencies
#    HorizSync    15-25, 30-50  # multiple ranges of sync frequencies

    VertRefresh 50-90

EndSection



Is this about all correct ?
Isn't VertRefresh 50-90  where the parameter are set ?

What should I change  if anything ?
