Changing screen refresh rate

[huru]

Hi,

Is there a way to change screen refresh rate in Planeshift or Crystal Space? Most I can get out from psclient is 60Hz which feels terrible to watch I\'ve been trying different resolutions, only one where I get more (85Hz) is 1024x768 which would be quite ok but unfortunately the fonts in that resolution are undreadable, looks like every other line is drawed or something like that.

Lower resolution gives again readable fonts but no decent refresh rate (not to mention resolution is simply too low )
Higher resolution again gives readable fonts but same thing with refresh rate, 60Hz.

In KDE, I got my desktop set at 1600x1200@85Hz so monitor isn\'t the problem, nor is the X configuration. All the lower resolutions I have tried work just fine in X. Any ideas? I\'ve been searching this and Crystal Space forums but didn\'t find anything.

Thanks!

The only thing that shows is that you have 1600x1200 set up correctly. I\'m sure that if you run Planeshift in 1600x1200 you will get 85hz in the game too.

Most likely is your X configuration has 60hz entries for lower resolutions, instead of 85hz or higher.

Nope, I\'m not that stupid I tried setting default resolution in X lower, and refresh rate remains ok (85Hz). In Planeshift it does not. Difference between 60Hz and 85Hz is clearly visible to bare eye but I also got \"info\" button in my monitor which proves it

You were right in that though that running Planeshift in 1600x1200 does give 85Hz (didn\'t try that earlier since my comp does not really have enough power to run games in that resolution). If I only knew why, when lower resolutions do not?

Your X config may have entries for 60 AND 85 Hz. In that case, try removing the 60 Hz one completely. Planeshift cannot use a frequency that does not exist.
