Diablo II Refresh Rate (Solved)

Whenever I start Diablo II it sets a werid Refresh Rate that causes my Monitor to be unable to display! Is there a way either in the xorg.conf or in Diablo II to specify a Refresh that must never be changed or safe ones that always must be met?

After the latest update with nvidia graphic's driver I had to add an entry in xorg.conf in order to force the apropriate refresh rate (for any resolution besides 1024x768)
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "NVIDIa GeForce FX 5200"
Monitor "Belinea"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "0"
Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0"

What you need to add is: (If, of course it's not already there)
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "0"
Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0"
Option "metamodes" "1024x768_75 +0+0; 800x600_75 +0+0; 640x480_75 +0+0"

[SOLVED] Refresh rate, nvidia and Quake Live

I need help setting my monitor to 120HZ for 640*480, i have no idea how to do this using xorg.conf or nvidia-settings... nvidia-settings only shows as high as 85hz for this resolution. I'm not gonna be mean and say how simple doing this is in windows(guess i just did) Sorry ^^.
I'm using a ViewSonic E70 17" CRT monitor and a Geforce4 mx420 with the nvidia-96xx proprietary driver from the repos.
I really need 640*480 to get to 120 hz, should be simple enough!
Thanks!

If you look at the Nvidia docs it says in there somewhere why each monitor has a "unique" refresh rate. It boils down to X is too stupid to do real dual monitors. As a result, Nvidia presents to X two "separate" monitors; it differentiates them to X by using different refresh rates...thus you cannot (and should not even try) to set the monitors to use the same refresh rate.
I'd suggest using nvidia-utils or nvidia-setup (not sure of the name but it will autocomplete on the command line if you just type "nvidia-") to set up twinview or separate X sessions or whatever you want. It's easy to use and will even write an xorg.conf for you. Failing that, look at randr on the wiki.
i did nvidia-xconfig. and also activated the vsync in nvidia-settings. But no luck. Also when i chose seperate X in nvidia-settings my arch freezes. I am going to do a refresh install.

[solved] Tearing Problem / Refresh Rate

Hey,
i have a huge tearing problem. Watching movies is a real torture.
I think it's the refresh rate. The recommended refresh rate for my display is 60Hz (@1920x1080p). But i can only choose 50Hz in the XFCE settings (link).
Anyone can say how to change this to 60Hz? If any configs or hardware specifications are needed, please let me know.
Last edited by arcc (2012-02-13 21:25:20)

It's a nvidia 8800 GTS.
If I choose Resolution: Auto in nvidia-settings I can only use Refresh Rate: 50Hz in XFCE settings.
If I choose Resolution: 1920x1080 60Hz in nvidia-settings I can use Refresh Rate: 50Hz or 122Hz in XFCE settings.
Here the monitor part of xorg.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "AOC 2795E"
HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0
VertRefresh 55.0 - 75.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Sync to VBlank is always enabled in nvidia-settings.
But tearing anyway...

Refresh Rate in X Windows (SOLVED)

I set up an xorg.conf and it recognizes the attached monitor, but it displays with a refresh rate of 60. I would like the refresh rate of 76. In the radeon driver's output, it states that it recognizes the monitor can handle 1280x1024 at 76. Does anyone know what I need to change so I can get the higher refresh rate?
I am guessing that this is the reason for the poor display quality.

I do have DDC. It correctly recognizes the monitor. The problem is that the monitor operates both at 60 Hz and 76 Hz. I'm guessing the low-quality image is due to the fact that it is running at 60 Hz.

Application control methods to prevent jerky graph refresh rate

Hi all,
In the simplest terms, what I am trying to achieve is a VI with a button on. When the user presses the button, a subVI is executed which acquires some data which is displayed on 2 graphs. The first graph has cursors which can be moved by the user to define the limits of the data plotted on the second graph.
I created a VI that did the 2 graphs with the limits and they updated fine (see attached file Stiffness and Damping.vi). However, this was when loading some data from a text file (attached as LabTestData.txt).
When I replaced the loading bit with the DAQ subVI, when the user changed the cursors on the first graph, the range of data on the second graph remained unchanged (see attached file FIND SAD v1.vi).
I then changed the structure so the data acquisition was in a different loop to the analysis and this works to a certain extent, apart from the fact that the second graph has a very jerky refresh rate (see attached file FIND SAD.vi).
If someone has a suggestion on a better way to structure the VI to solve these problems then that would be a great help.
The second version also has the problem that the VI doesnt stop when the 'Back to main menu' button is pressed, and I can't figure out why this is.
Many thanks,
Ian

Refresh rate isn't preserved

Hello there,
I am using a 120hz monitor with a nvidia card, and I am trying to keep my refresh rate settings. I've launched nvidia-settings as root and saved the settings (which work fine for the session after setting the proper settings and pressing apply, but don't apply after rebooting) as both /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf. I have tried with both files, and with only one at a time, to no avail.
The refresh rate is already back at 60 when gdm launches (I confirm it by moving my mouse around; there is a clear visible difference).
Any recommendations?

If running nvidia-settings once you've logged in solves the problem you can put:
nvidia-settings -l &
into your autostart or .xinitrc file (depends on your DE/WM and how you start it) to get it to run on login.

Monitor refresh rates and Open Firmware

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the default monitor refresh rate of an iMac in Open Firmware and how?
Thanks.

Thanks but I think the iMac G5 does have a refresh rate or something analogous to one, in this case I believe it is 60 hertz. I want to know how to change it in firmware because I believe it will solve an issue my display suffers from. See here:

Screen refresh rate

Please does anyone know the screen refresh rate of a Macbook Pro 2.4 GHx Intel Core 2 Duo (Is this is a 60 Hz monitor?). I am conducting a psychology experiment, and I really need this information, and I cannot find it in system profiler? thank you!

just another reason why this was the best investment i have ever made. i +++++ love mac and the "family" thereof! lol

Set permanent monitor refresh rate without xorg.conf

Hi everyone,
Came back to archlinux, made a clean install with gnome 3. Found out that my GDM and Gnome monitor refresh rate is wrong. For GDM I solved it by adding xrandr -s 1024x768 -r 85 to the gdm init script. Maybe it's ugly, but at least working. I've got no xorg.conf and I don't want to create it only because of this problem. Using GUI screen settings in System preferences I managed only to set permanently correct resolution (1024x768) but the refresh rate cannot be changed there, so every time I boot now I have correct resolution and refresh rate for GDM, but after login I have 1024x768@60 only, so I have to manually issue 'xrandr -r 85' every time I login. Can I fix it without creating xorg.conf file under /etc/X11? What I already tried was creating the config file under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and set proper resolution and refresh rate there, but it didn't help. If someone has advice or idea, i will be very grateful. Thanks a lot in advance.

I think you need to specify the values from the manufacturer's website.
Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "DELL"
ModelName "U2311H"
HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0

I probably don't need to specify "Driver" with open-source drivers, but it's easier to just replace it with "nvidia", since I sometimes switch to the proprietary ones.

[SOVLED] My WM bspwm suffers slow refresh rate

Hi, I just switched from desktop environment (GNOME) to window manager (bspwm). The workflow is fantastic. However, there is one issue annoying me. The refresh rate or rendering rate seems a bit slow. When I use chrome to scroll up/down a page or watch a video, I can feel that things are not that smooth compared with GNOME. Although, it will not affect other experience, e.g., coding or writing, I still feel that it is not perfect. I googled a lot, but no one talking about this. Could someone help me to solve the issue? Many thanks!

@cju Thanks. I am a new guy in WM. I try to install a so called compositor: compton. Nothing improved except shadowing on the window. The scrolling in Chrome is still not that smooth. Any suggestions? Think you.

X220 uncontrollably switches to 50Hz refresh rate upon unplug from power source

Hello,
I'd like to reiterate that I LOVE my x220 apart from the few issues I have with it. Having said that, I am having the (seemingly) ubiquitous problem where the laptop constantly switches to 50Hz when unplugged from a power source. I have tried reinstalling the Power Manager and Power Manager driver, and all of my system software is up to date.
Just to be certain, is everyone else experiencing this issue as well? I know T420s owners recently reported it and it was subsequently forwarded to engineering. As long as a fix is in the works I am happy. :-)

Go to Solution.

Hey erik,
I really do appreciate your input. That's a good idea, though honestly I don't know if I will bother with all of that now. :-) Perhaps instead if I get a moment in the near future I may try wiping out all Intel graphics drivers entirely from the system manually and then reinstalling.
Having said all of that, on a somewhat unrelated note, I'm getting 4,900+ in 3DMark06, which is shocking! After experiencing the trouble with the unplug/replug refresh rate switch, I tried a wide variety of solutions including using the 2361 graphics drivers from Intel's site. This plus my high-speed fan settings at anything over 60C probably helped contribute to the score I guess.
But back to the topic... is anyone else experiencing these same refresh rate switching issues?

Refresh Rate Tweak !

Hey Everyone,
Whats a good utility that allows me to tweak my Refresh Rate, i had one before (can't remember the name) and it worked awesome. I just had to lower my refresh rate just a touch .. then i got rid of the "static" issue on my display.
The program i had was not ... DisplayConfigX ... it was something that ran in the system tray ... very simply.
Any help suggestions would be great. Freeware is also ideal

Hi Richard,
thanks a lot for the help - setting Vertical sync to 'Off by default' solved my prob :P

Ti4200-VTD8X (MS-8894) refresh rate problem

I upgrade my Geforce3 Ti200 VGA to Ti4200-VTD8X (MS-8894). My monitor is Samsung SyncMaster 955b (19").
My problem is: I can not get refresh rate 1280/1024 85 Hz (This is the recomended rate of this monitor). I have instaled the newest monitor driver.
Ah.. I have a 2nd problem. My OS is Win XP prof. In the "display properties" window there is a place called "MSI information". In that window nearly all my VGA properties are wrong. It saya my memory is 32MB and SDRAM. AND i can not change the check boxes there. Can you please help me to solve my problems.
Thank you,

Incorrect CRT refresh rate after latest xorg update

Hi
I upgraded (pacman -Syu) a few days ago and now my CRT displays an incorrect refresh rate so it actually makes my eyes cry ! Very annoying, as you would imagine. I haven't been going with any problem of this kind for years , so i don't believe this is coming from xorg.conf (unchanged for a long time), unless newest xorg or nvidia packages require some new settings for xorg.conf that I am not aware of.

I guess this the price to pay dealing with Arch : you're always up to date, but the update often breaks something that just worked fine.
Hope someone has an idea.
Thanks/

yaourt -Syu of system messed up my nvidia or/and xorg.conf settings also. Now I can not choose 1680x1050 resolution for my 22"LCD, nvidia-settings would let me choose higher ones and lower ones but not the right one. Having only one screen and until this setting up xorg.conf have not taken that long.
[EDIT] Downgrading xorg-server and xorg-server-utils solved the issue for me, only had to to change refresh rate at nvidia-settings.
