Not sure what video card you have, but on mine, I log in as root, then set it using the nvidia configuration tools. I've never been able to get it setup correctly any other way.

Hope this helps.. :D :D

please give us more info

what video card you have, the monitor you have and the maximum refresh rate on the resolution you are using

if you have a lcd, the maximum refresh rate will always be 60, no matter it reports 75, it is 60

if you have a crt, always is beter to use anything over 60, 60 is bad for the eyes
