I see taht the refresh rates are not in quotes like the other items, is this correct? I forgot to mention that during install, after running the xconfig setup and saving the files, it said that the setup appeared to have failed and gave me a chance to try again. I tried several times but with the same result. I am running Version 4.8 but thought that I may try version 5.1 to see if I get a better result.
