Howcan I change the monitor refresh rate in windows 3.11?
see title. Graphics adapter ist currently set to xga and even 90 Hz on my crt but I need 75 or 60 Hz for my TFT.
I'm not familiar with 3.11 and don't find any setting for it.

(Translated from German). The last line should be what you need.

I hope you do know Sysedit? If you don't bring up a run dialog and type "sysedit". This little program will allow you to edit the config files, including win.ini and system.ini.
One can tweak the system by modifying a few eintries system.ini (italic: speed, normal: stabiliy):
First the [386Enh] section:
[386Enh]
DMABufferSize=64 ; size of the DMA buffer in KB, should be at least 64 KB, on my system it's even 150 KB
FileSysChange=Off ; Changes in the file system are reported to programs which understand it (File Manager). Off is faster.
MaxBPs=768 ; defines the number of breakpoints, default: 200
WindowUpdateTime=5 ; interval (in ms), in which the content of DOS windows is redrawn, default: 50

Thanks Younghv, but

WindowUpdateTime=<millisec onds>
Default: 50
Purpose: Specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds)
Windows takes before it updates the display oXf
-> non-Windows applications<- running in a window.
To change: Use Notepad to edit the SYSTEM.INI file.

That's not what I want. I already googled and found the other articles and clues to use manufacturer specific tools, but I still don't believe, that win 3.11 did not offer that on its own.

I would like to close the question. I found the option in the VideoSeven-Options which I did not notice at first.
