O hell...not sure.  I haven't gotten a TTY in a while (Fedora boots X and then runs its stuff)

You might be right about that, Joe.

Then we know it's a problem with X. That's a plus. 

Can you run xorg.config or xfree.config or some program resembling one of those, set everything up, restart X, and see if that helps?

hwd doesn't come default with X.  It's a specifically arch-Linux tool. 

And anyways, "what resolution do you want?" and "what type of video card do you have?" aren't exactly difficult questions for somebody who knows anything .

I've never gotten the sync rates wrong, and I know I've picked different ones.  I don't think it makes a difference.

setting them too low is never a problem, you just might not get the optimal refresh rate.

setting them too high will fry your monitor. smoke and everything

60Hz refresh, some kind of video card which I can look up in system properties somewhere, and my resolution is 1200xsomething.  I can find it all (it's downstairs).  I'll try when I go into my room, which isn't often anymore due to my room being about 110F at any given point in time.

Yea...60hz kills my eyes.  If you are lucky it'll list it on the back of your monitor, if you aren't you have to find a product spec sheet.

I feel sorry for your room, rabbit. Mine's in the basement, thank God.

As for your resolution, I think you meant 1280 x Something. Possible options are 1280x720, 1280x768, and 1280x1024.

60hz is fine, if it's an LCD. 

My computer's drivers were messed up once, and I was getting something like 45hz.  Talk about a headache!

It's CRT, and the only option in monitor preferences is 60Hz.  It's fine for me :\
Anyway, I still haven't gone in there...

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!
