Hello Again, I fixed the problem, as you were kind enought to point out, the moniter couldn't handle the modes I was requesting. I ran XF86Setup again and correctly setup my moniter and now I can get the correct refresh rates. But this has brought up one more small problem, not the desktop size is set to "1600x1200", my maximum resolution, even when I change to a lower resolution, is there any way I can make the defualt desktop size the same as the resolution? Thanks for the great help, I never would gove gotten it without you!
