[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.

  • Quake live connection error

    Hi fellow archers,
    I have a problem with quake live (www.quakelive.com). When I login, the plugin loads and then I get a connection error.
    We're sorry, but it appears you are having problems connecting to the QUAKE LIVE network. If you are behind a firewall you must make sure that it permits the following connection:
    Protocol: TCP
    Host: xmpp.quakelive.com
    Port: 5222
    The port is open on my hardware firewalls, and I don't have a software firewall installed. I can play quake live from both ubuntu and windows 7, which use the same local IP address.
    Firefox outputs the following:
    $ firefox
    CONNECT_THROTTLE - Connect()
    CONNECT_THROTTLE - Connect()
    I tried to remove the plugin and installed data (~/.quakelive and the plugin in the ~/.mozilla folder) serveral times, but it doesn't fix the problem.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance

    @655321, your problem is different.  Quake Live plugin still uses libpng 1.2.  There are aur packages for libpng 1.2.
    Sorry Silverwing but I do not know what could be causing your problem.
    You are totally right, firefox output shows an error concerning libpng, will try it out and come back with results!
    Firefox spams this warning while trying to load game:
    libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.2.24
    libpng warning: Application  is  running with png.c from libpng-1.4.3

    However, the following libpng packages appears installed on my system:

    local/libpng12 1.2.44-1
        A collection of routines used to create PNG format graphics files
    So i already have libpng 1.2, the problem still lies in the libpng version I think, (Ihave 1.2.44 and quake live needs 1.2.24). I cant find the AUR for this package but nothing shows or its under a different name, can you point out which one is the correct package to install?

  • Refresh rate

    How do you change the refresh rate on an apple monitors?
    I went into the system preferences under displays the refresh rate button was there but not lit up.
    I need to see what my refresh rate is and how to change it.

    60 Hz is the standard for LCDs and can't be changed.

  • Refresh rate on iMac

    I'm not really sure if this is the right place for this post, so forgive me.
    I am wondering why the refresh rate on my iMac (latest generation, Intel, 20in) says n/a for the refresh rate. I would very much like to know what the refresh rate is, and if thats impossible, why is it impossible?

    Ammendment to my previous post: the going out of focus is not a random thing at all . I've just noticed when it happens: it seems like my screen is cut into 4 halves depending on the mouse position...
    Let me explain: when my mouse pointer is in the lower half of the screen, the image is all clear. When it goes to the upper half, the image goes slightly out of focus, mainly noticeable on text (very slight so that it's annoying, but one can still read it). That's for the "2 first halves".
    Now when the pointer of the mouse is in the left half of the screen, the image shifts sideways by less than a millimeter. Not much, but noticeable enough to be annoying. And when the pointer is in the other half, it goes back to where it was initially.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?
    Cheers,

  • What is the iPad 2's screen refresh rate?

    I don't know what the iPad 2's screen refresh rate is, and I've looked pretty much everywhere. I am looking to develop a 3D system for the iPad 2 or 3, but I can't untill I know the screen refresh rate. Does anybody know?

  • Max refresh rates

    Hi,
    I own a MSI Geforce 4 Ti4200 VTD and as I will soon get 3D glasses, I need to get the highest refresh rates it can give. My monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster 900 NF and it can handles 160Hz at 800x600 or 132Hz at 1024x768 (these are the 2 resolutions I plan to use).
    Unfortunately reading the spec of my MSI Geforce 4, it seems that it cannot handle the same refresh rates  At 800x600, it can handle 150Hz and at 1024x768 it can do 120Hz. I know the difference is not so important but as I plan to tweak the settings to their max (and it is really required for 3D stereovision), I need to know the exact max capabilities of the card.
    What seem strange to me is that other Geforce 4 Ti4200 based card (such as the Asus) have MUCH higher refresh rate capabilities and can display at 200-240Hz at those resolution!!!!!!!!! And this is for the exact same chipset so I find this a little disturbing.
    Do you know if the refresh rates indicated on the MSI manual (and on their website) really are the maximum refresh rates or only recommended refresh rates for any resolution? I cannot believe the MSI GF 4 Ti4200 can "only" do 120Hz at 1024x768........................
    Will I damage the card if I go above these settings (f.ex use 160Hz at 800x600 rather then the "max" written 150Hz of the card)????
    Many thanks

  • Problem with ATV refresh rates and frame rates

    I live in Australia and as such I am subject to PAL, so when I set my ATV up I set it to 720P 50Hz, when I purchased a TV season the episodes were running at 25fps and played back flawlessly with no dropped or added frames. My problem occurs when I download movies, all the movies I have bought are running at 24fps and suffer from quite noticeable jitter, almost like the 24th frame is duplicated and added as the 25th frame, I assume it is something like this as the pause happens every second.
    So has anyone had a problem similar to this and if so what do you do about it?
    Does the ATV playback all sources (24/25) smoothly even if it has to convert?
    Could it be caused by my TV?
    Any help to any of these questions would be great.
    Thanks.
    Tim.

    With my particular Apple TV setup and TV combination, I find that setting to 1080p (60hZ) gives my the best all-round round results.
    This does result in -slightly- jerky motion with 25fps material (especially old British TV shows), but it's bearable. It's particularly noticeable with sideways scrolling text and credits.
    The one thing that is peculiar on my setup is if I use 720p (either @60hz or 50hz) and watch an iTunes-purchased HD episode that is encoded at 24fps I get very odd motion effects indeed. Every few seconds the video appears to speed up almost like it is 'catching up' with lost frames - very hard to explain exactly how it looks. Anyway I set to 1080p and this effect is gone completely. It also goes away if I set to 1080i. I think something queer is going on with 720p on the Apple TV (at least with my TV there is). This happens with both HDMI and component outputs.
    It may be worth trying 1080i at either 50 or 60Hz if your set can't do 1080p.
    I would also suggest that 60hz in theory should give a smoother motion for 24fps playback than 50Hz.
    My basic problem with all this is that on even a cheap DVD player if a disk is 50Hz, the player switches to 50Hz output and if it is 60Hz, it will change to 60Hz. The Apple TV stays fixed. It's a shame it can't autoswitch refresh rates.

  • 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:

  • Nvidia 195.36.31-1 doesn't detect horizontal refresh rate correctly

    With both the nvidia driver 195.36.15 that was in the main repositories before the last update, and the nvidia-beta driver 256.35-1from aur my monitor's horizontal refresh rate is detected correctly(129.5khz with a 120hz vertical refresh rate).  However, the nvidia driver currently in the repositories 195.36.31-1 doesn't detect it correctly and forces a horizontal refresh rate of about 185khz.  This causes horizontal white lines to be seen all along the screen.
    I'm now happily using the beta driver from aur, but I can try to pinpoint the problem if someone can point me in the right direction.
    thanks.

    this is not a bug. this is a nvidia workaround so that xrandr is able to handle correctly multihead refresh rates. see the nvidia readme for details, and don't worry, the refresh rate is correct, else you would see garbage.

  • How to change screen refresh rate in windows 7sp1 and windows 8.1 iso image using dism

    sir when i install windows 7sp1 and windows 8.1 then after the completion of setup when first time windows boots up then task bar is not shown and display is not clear and when i check under monitor settings the screen refresh rate is 60 Hertz and when i
    set the screen refresh rate from 60 Hertz to 75 Hertz, then everything is OK, plz tell me why this happens?
    why windows 7 sp1 and windows 8.1 automatically sets the screen refresh rate to 60Hertz instead of 75Hertz.
    how can i set screen refresh rate 75 Hertz permanently in iso image using DISM ?

    That is not a function of DISM. Resolution and refresh rate capabilities can be determined by multiple causes. Drivers are one, another is that most modern displays will report their capabilities to Windows.
    You can specify display settings with an answer file however:
    <Display>
    <HorizontalResolution>640</HorizontalResolution>
    <VerticalResolution>480</VerticalResolution>
    <ColorDepth>16</ColorDepth>
    <RefreshRate>60</RefreshRate>
    </Display>

    Thanks.

    I upped the log verbosity on Xorg and checked the Xorg.0.log file. I found some interesting things.
    First, I found this line:
    (II) I810(0): Will use BIOS call 0x5f05 to set refresh rates for CRTs.
    Later on, I found these:
    (WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f05 not supported.
    (II) I810(0): BIOS call 0x5f05 not supported, setting refresh with VBE 3 method.
    (WW) I810(0): Set VBE Mode rejected this modeline.
    Trying standard mode instead!
    Presumably, "standard mode" is an eye-watering 60Hz.
    This is on a Dell Optiplex GX260 with BIOS revision A09. The video chipset is an onboard Intel 82845 and the driver is Xorg's i810.
    Everything works fine with Sun's X server. I get a nice 87Hz refresh at 1024x768. I'm surprised that Xorg can't set the refresh on this machine. It's listed as Test Suite Level 2 certified in the HCL. Unless somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong here, I'm going to post this incompatibility as a comment on the HCL.

  • [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.

    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.

  • HT202856 What resolutions and refresh rates does the MacBook Pro support?

    Why does this article provide lots of useful information EXCEPT the piece I want?  It does not show what resolutions and refresh rates the MacBook Pro supports over Displayport:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6008
    I've heard it only supports 4k at 30 Hz.  Is this true?

    For some reason Displays no longer shows that information, so I don't know what it is. However, the last time I saw the information on a 2009 MBP it was 75.
    I'd think there is a utility around that might provide the info like Display Maestro 1.1.7 or SwitchResX.
