Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
I cannot get my CRT (Sony Multiscan G200) working with a refresh rate of 100Hz and a resolution of 1280x960. Though this settings works properly under WinXp with Nvidia drivers.
My graphic adapter is the Nvidia Geforce FX5200 by Gigabyte.
The problem is that all Linux distributions I have tried so far show this behavior.
Right now I am running Hardy Alpha 6 with a resolution 1280x1024 (91.3 KHz | 85 Hz).
(Though this resolution seems to work with my damaged CRT which is not capable of running many resolutions & refresh rates. Otherwise there is immense flickering on the corners of my monitor)
I would appreciate it if there would be just one Linux supporting my CRT as well as Windows does, so a more extensive usage of ubuntu would be possible for me.
I have made a little mistake my resolution under WinXp is not 1280x960 but instead 1024x768@100Hz. But the problem with linux remains I still do not have 100Hz with any resolution I choose...
