Finding out your refresh rate

My laptop's screen won't tell me. And I cannot where I'd find out where it is. I've set up my xorg.conf so that it has a high vertical and horizontal refresh rate and I've given it a modline. But I need to be sure, thanks.
Here's the rather inconclusive output from xorg's log.
(==) VESA(0): DPI set to (96, 96)
(II) VESA(0): Attempting to use 75Hz refresh for mode "1024x768" (117)
(II) VESA(0): Attempting to use 85Hz refresh for mode "800x600" (114)
(II) VESA(0): Attempting to use 85Hz refresh for mode "640x480" (111)
(II) VESA(0): Attempting to use 85Hz refresh for mode "640x400" (184)
(II) VESA(0): Attempting to use 85Hz refresh for mode "640x350" (1c4)
(**) VESA(0): Using "Shadow Framebuffer"
(II) Loading sub module "shadow"
(II) LoadModule: "shadow"

Thanks a lot byte.
iphitus: Interesting, however I think I notice a difference now it's at 85hz - I don't know what it was before though.
byte: crappy ati support for xorg and my graphics card diverges from the norm somewhat being as my laptop is rubbish.

  • HT1918 how to find out your answers for questions

    hi i need to know how to find my id questions i cant remember my answers for them. need to know how to find and change please

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • How do you find out your "Server"?

    I have no idea what my server is, or how I can come up with it. Help?

    Your "server" for what purpose?   For Podcast Producer, as the footer note implies? 
    If it's Podcast Producer, then it's an OS X Server system that you're running on your own local network, and that's configured with the Podcast Server software.  (If you're not already aware of the difference, OS X Server is a different version of OS X, a package with added features and capabilities that's installed onto the OS X package.)
    Here's the Apple Podcast Producer documentation, which goes into some detail on setting up and using Podcast Producer.
    Or maybe you're asking about Mail and mail servers, as is a common question around the forums?  If it's mail that you're configuring and that you're puzzled with, then you'll need to check for the configuration details with whomever is providing you with your mail.    That provider might be your local Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the ISP's mail servers, it might be Apple with iCloud services, or some other provider.   You could identify your mail ISP, and somebody could then point to the details of setting up mail with that ISP.
    There are may other servers around the network beyond Podcast Producer and Mail, and for various different purposes.
