Hi Dan,

It occurs to me there are *two* things that affect your monitor
output.  The monitor itself and your graphics card.  I notice you only
seem to have the generic Nvidia module for the graphics card.  I would
recommend downloading the latest Linux update from www.nvidia.com and
installing that to get full performance from the card.

You may be in the situation where the monitor will handle the refresh
rate you want, but the graphics card doesn't know that it can.

Kind regards,

Julian
