[xubuntu-users] Default Screen Resolution & Refresh Frequency

[Xianwen Chen]

Dear Eberhard,

Thanks for your hint. I did further research, and then added monitor
info and screen info into xorg.conf. Now the screen looks like to be
1024x768 @ 85hz. Is there anyway to check if the refresh rate is 85hz?
'cause I didn't see any code in xorg.conf which sets the refresh rate.

Best regards,

Wen
