ok, but why do i have to do this?

i mean, i understand how it works...
but how is it done in windows for example? why don't i have to do that ?

and:

as i know X is able to enumerate the modes supported by my monitor +
graphics card...    

so i only need to specify the resolutions..
+ i can do something like this:

Subsection "Display"
        Depth 16
        Virtual 1280 960
EndSubsection

this way i only specify the max. resolution, and X enumerates all the
possible lower ones...

but the question is:
does X always simply pick the highest refresh rate?
for example if there is "1280x960x75" and "1280x960x85", then X will
choose the second one?

i'm not sure, because when -vo_sdl switches to lower modes, sometimes
it's a 60hz mode......

thanks,
gabor

who never comes home.  Always someone loving something more than that 
thing loves them.  And after awhile you want to destroy whatever 
that thing is, so it can't hurt you no more.
