   SNAP refresh rate   
   09 Jul 11 13:26:09   
   
   From: tholen@antispam.ham   
      
   Does anybody know in which file and in which bytes SNAP stores   
   the startup refresh rate?  I needed to replace a failed monitor,   
   and the new monitor complains that it doesn't support 1600x1200   
   at 65 Hz, but I can't change the refresh rate to 60 Hz because   
   the monitor won't display an image after booting to the desktop.   
   Instead, I need to hook up an older monitor that doesn't object   
   to 65 Hz so that I can see what I'm doing.  Yet changing the   
   refresh rate from the Screen notebook tab of the System object   
   doesn't stick, nor does using the Global Refresh setting in the   
   Advanced button.  I'm fighting the need to hook up an old monitor   
   after every reboot because my change from 65 to 60 Hz doesn't   
   persist.  If I can find out where SNAP stores the startup refresh   
   rate, I can edit the file and fix it once and for all.  I'm not   
   afraid of editing a binary file, if that's how SNAP stores it.
