There is at least one Xfree doc that talks about it extensively, but I don't remember which and I'm not home. As I understand it, the dot clock is literally the number of dots your video-card-generates/monitor-can-handle. Combine it with horizontal lines and vertical lines and you have refresh rate (I think, it's been a while). With most modern vide-card/monitor combinations the card can generate a signal quite a bit faster than the monitor can handle, in my case the card will do 220 and my monitor can't even handle 110 (required for resonable 1280x1024 refresh). Some people have told me that certain cables will limit you even more (which at 100+ MHz sounds credible to me) but others have told me this is wrong. > > I looked at some of the monitors pages at Xfree86, and they also don't > list this. > > Any hints on what else to ask, or determine it? > -------------------------------------------------------- > Dr. Gregory Guthrie > [EMAIL PROTECTED] (515)472-1125 Fax: -1103 > Computer Science Department > College of Science and Technology > Maharishi University of Management > (Maharishi International University 1971-1995) > -------------------------------------------------------- > > > -- > TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] . > Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . > > -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
