That was always an issue when I was installing Linux not so long ago - the<br>
installer would work fine and everything would go smoothly, but when the<br>
machine rebooted to finish the install, it would stupidly set the refresh<br>
rate to something higher than the monitor supported. I kept an old CRT<br>
display around just so I could attach it and set the rate lower so my LCDs<br>
could function.<br>
I think high refresh rates are a legacy thing: used to be you wanted a high<br>
rate for your expensive CRT. Times change.<br>

<i>The issue is now that the "autoadjust" nature of the X-Server and that it gets it wrong. <br>
It was nice when you define your own x configuration and it would use it.<br>
<br>
The new autoadjust is very nice when it gets it right and you are using the<br>
computer for presentations with different monitors/projectors. :-)<br>
