Yes, that would be an option too. And you're right: the vertical refresh rate becomes a moot point on LCD displays. But given his existing hardware, his system is currently optimized about as much as it can be. I've been using a CRT monitor for years at 75 Hz vertical refresh and never had a problem with eye fatigue. If it were me, I'd be perfectly content. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
