Ive been a user of DSL on one of my boxes around the house for a few weeks now.
But one thing has been bugging me. How do i change the refresh rate? 60Hz is blinding.
Thanks for the help ahead of time.

The short answer is that there isn't much you can do. The Xvesa X-server is based on the vesa 2.0 specification and this doesn't include setting or changing refresh rates. If you have a HD install you have two options:

1. Download, install and configure a full X server (Xfree86, Xorg, ..).

2. First boot into dos, set refresh rates with the dos tools for the graphics card, then use loadlin to boot linux. I have tried this with Tseng ET4000 and S3 Trio64 cards and it works. The problem will be to find the correct dos tools (for newer cards this probably doesn't exist).
