I have a Viewsonic EF70 and before Panther I could run 1152 x 870 at 75hz no problem, but now it's stuck at 60hz and I know no way to force it. Anyone have any ideas what I can do? I really don't want to drop to 1024 x 768 again, but 60hz is totally unacceptable.

Life is like a clay pigeon -- sooner or later, someone is going to shoot you down and even if they miss you'll still wind up shattered and broken in the end.

I know there's a refresh rate selection menu in the preference pane. Is your's grayed out or something like that? It looks like there aren't the number of selections available through the icon in the menu bar, but all the choices are there in the System Preferences. At least, they are in mine.

Yeah, all but 60hz are greyed out at the resolution I want.
