What does your X log say?
I believe this is the relevant portion
(II) NVIDIA(0): Detected AGP rate: 8X
(--) NVIDIA(0): Interlaced video modes are supported on this GPU
(--) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s) on GeForce FX 5700
Ultra at
(--) NVIDIA(0): PCI:2:0:0:
(--) NVIDIA(0): Samsung SyncMaster (CRT-0)
(--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-1
(--) NVIDIA(0): Samsung SyncMaster (CRT-0): 400 MHz maximum
pixel clock
(--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-1: 400 MHz maximum pixel clock
(II) NVIDIA(0): Assigned Display Devices: CRT-0, CRT-1
(II) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes:
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1280x1024_60.00,1280x1024_60.00"
(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 2560 x 1024
(--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (90, 96); computed from "UseEdidDpi"
X config option
(--) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp
Hopefully this helps, I dont think I am getting 60 Hz though ?
