Actually VESA driver works.I try SCO OS 5.0.6 with Matrox G200, G400, G450, ATI R128, Nvidia... Sometimes (Sony 21" E520, ATI R128) it reaches 85 Hz, but in most of cases it flicks on miserable 60 Hz :(( It is difficult to explain to MS and Linux users why and how it is possible !?

They say there is special protocol between display and videocontroller, where they negotiate the frame freq. Once in one repair shop they demonstrate me, that the frame freq. depends of the order of switching on the display (Samsung 753 Sync master) and video (NVidia). In one case it switches to 60 Hz, in other to 85 Hz. Very strange !

I do not find any directive in /usr/lib/grafinfo or /usr/lib/moninfo. Does somebody know how to tune the frequency ?
