The maximum resolution that is selected in this list will be the size of the desktop. If other resolutions are selected, they are used for desktop zooming using the Zoom in and Zoom out hotkeys. Selecting a resolution here adds the resolution to the Refresh rates list. Changes in the desktop resolution will take effect the next time Accelerated-X starts.
Change and test refresh rates for a resolution.
First, select the list of available resolutions using Resolutions. Then, select a resolution from this list to show the corresponding refresh rate in the Rate entry. If you want Accelerated-X to automatically set the refresh rate, select Automatic. Otherwise, turn Automatic off and manually enter a refresh rate. The range of valid refresh rates is determined by the capabilities of you graphics board and monitor.
Press Test... to test the refresh rate. If the monitor turns off (it is out of "sync"), after a while Xsetup will cancel the change and return to the automatic setting. Otherwise, Xsetup asks if you want to keep the setting. Press OK to keep, or Cancel to abandon channging the refresh rate.
