is this normal? (gForce question)

[Guest prometheus]

Hi, i just updated my kernel, and tried to give the latest nvidia driver another shot, when i built the .src.rpm, all went well, and i can login to x with no problems, but when i logout of X, my monitor displays a warning sayin that refresh rate is out of range, my monitor is a DAYTEK 75A and can do vsync 30-70 khz and 50-150 hrefresh, and when i exit X it says it was trying a vsync of 73.8 khz, and i edited the XF86Config correctly..

i had the same problem before and i didnt know how to fix it, so i just installed the driver before it (the 3123)..

anyone knows how to fix this?

[ezroller]

i have no idea if this will help, but try editing the XF86config-4 file in /etc/X11

i already did, i'll post it here, i dunno what's wrong with it, it worked fine with the older driver.
