Dear all,

I use a Compaq 7550 monitor. It's a CRT.

Currently, I can not adjust the refresh rate under Gentoo, but it was
adjustable when it was running Ubuntu. I think I may need to copy the
X configure file or some sort of CRT driver file from Ubuntu. What do
you think? Any suggestion please?

Kind regards,

Chen

post your xorg.conf file for a start. There are no 'crt driver files'.

Thanks for your reply Hemman! I'm using HAL to configure X. Currently
not xorg.conf is placed under /etc/X11. Shall I copy the xorg.conf
file from Ubuntu to Gentoo?

you could do that. But check for changes. You could also post it here first.
