Hi,

I have a 22" CRT Monitor that was mainly bought for FPS games, I tried LFS a long time ago on it but had some issues.

Is there a way to manually force a specific refresh rate? I'm stuck at the choices on the "Screen" menu in game and that only allows up to 85hz, whereas this monitor can run at upto 170hz @ 800x600 - And because of the way the picture is scaled the quality of 8x6 isn't too bad at all.

Is there a way to do this or would I need an external addon of some sort?

Thanks,
Jack

Hi Jack (excuse the pun)

I beleive its just a case of going to your CRT manufactures website and downloading the monitor.inf file (then installing it). this will tell your system exactly what it can and cannot support, if the refresh rate is supported by the monitor & GFX card and in the drivers, then it should be available in LFS, you can also switch on Vsync if you get funny tears/ half screen flickers.

Good luck

If Dave's suggestion doesn't work try using my custom resolution launcher to force a refresh rate.

The resolution/refresh is definately available as I play other games at that, I'll have ago at forcing it now.

Used to use a program called reforce a while ago for my old crt and low res (cs hehe), could give that a bash.
