I am running a ATI Rage 128 Expert 2000 buzzword buzzword video card
with RtP Patch A (second-most-recent version) at 1280x1024 resolution,
and have set the refresh rate to 85Hz. Two observations:
-
as installed, the /etc/system/config/graphics-modes file is not
world writable, and the phgrafx is not running setuid, so any
video mode changes I make as a regular user are silently
discarded. -
I set the video mode and refresh as root, then logged back in as a
normal user. It gets the resolution correct, but does not go to
the correct refresh rate. When I open phgrafx, it shows 85Hz, but
in order to put the monitor into 85Hz, I have to select 75Hz, then
select 85Hz, then press Apply.
The top line in my graphics-modes file is:
io-graphics -g1280x1024x16 -dldevg-ati_rage128.so -I0 -d0x1002,0x5246 -R85;#1280,1024,16,100,0CBDr,ati_rage128 - ATI Rage 128 / Rage 128 Pro
Just FYI.
Cheers,
Andrew
