5928.0. "Celebris GL 6200 & Video refresh problem" by OTOOA::kap901.kao.dec.com::trimble () Thu Apr 17 1997 09:35

I have a Celebris GL 6200 running NT 4.0.  I've installed the
latest Matrox video drivers from http://pcbu.ako.dec.com
available for the system.  In the MGA panel I've selected a monitor 
type of "(Standard monitor types). Vesa 1600X1200 @65-75Hz" but after
rebooting and going to the display settings, the only refresh
rate I get is 60Hz.  I'm currently using the 1152x864 video mode
because I need more than 256 colours, but I've been unable to 
choose a different refresh rate.  This is starting to bug my 
eyes.

Any suggestions?

    I've seen this:
    select the monitor in MGA Panel, save it, exit.
    go into Display Properties, it doesn't reflect the change.
    go back into MGA panel AGAIN, select it again, save it again, exit
    go into Display Properties, now it offers the correct refresh options.

Sorry, that didn't work.  Do you have to reboot?

    No reboot was necessary with the behaviour I saw; this must
    be a different problem.
