Or would you really want to go lower than refresh rate? With flat panels you can in theory go very low in refresh rate. I have not experimented with it myself, but I do not know of any reason why e.g. 30 Hz refresh rate would not be possible. Unless frequency generators cannot be adjusted that low... Of course with CRT this is impossible due to flicker. Might also require custom modelines. -- Pekka "PQ" Paalanen <a href="http://www.iki.fi/pq/">http://www.iki.fi/pq/</a> _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list <a href="mailto:Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org">Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau</a> </blockquote> </div> --   -=( Polytan )=-
