> This issue is not limited to Rebel as my older Chess Genius 2 has > the same symptom. I don't think that Rebel in the default mode programs the video system directly. It uses whatever VESA driver you have loaded or running in Video ROM. If you have diskettes which came with your video card, there are usually utilities to set up what refresh rate to use for different video mode on the installed monitor. Your VESA or ROM drivers may be conservative, assuming the lowest quality monitor, so they set a low refresh rate. In Windows 95/98/NT I usually tell the display configuraiton that I have a much better monitor than the one attached, just to override their cautious refresh rates they would pick for my monitor (e.g. for the NEC 4FGe I would tell Windows it was the next higher model NEC 5FGe; if it is not obvious which one to pick, try next one of the same manufacturer, it may take some playing to get the best one).
