[TriLUG] Red Hat 9 and Samsung Monitor

[Joseph Tate]

Look in /etc/X11/XF86config for a "Monitor".  There should be a line 
that says VertRefresh.  Change that from 68 to 100, or if you don't have 
it, insert it below HorizSync and above ModeLine.  And I don't think you 
mean 68k or 100k but rather 60 Hz or 100 Hz.
