Default XF86Config and monitior settings

Hi,

can someone tell me how to configure the XF86Config file in order to
setup my monitor to "1024x768" @ 85Hz?

I've tried to run XFree86 -configure an read the man page for the
XF86Config file but I couldn't make the monitor work at "1024x768" @ 85Hz.

I've Slackware 9.1 on an Athlon 1GHz with 382Mb RAM and a NVidia Riva
TNT2. (I know my monitor and graphic card work with "1024x768" @ 85Hz)

thanks in advance

add this lines to your monitor section of xf86 config file:

# 1024x768 @ 85.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 68.60 kHz; pclk: 94.39 MHz
Modeline "1024x768_85.00" 94.39 1024 1088 1200 1376 768 769 772 807 -HSync +Vsync

and in screen section change the name of the Modes to

"1024x768_85.00"

you can also find other modes with the gtf command,
# gtf x y refresh
