   That is beyond the problem I'm having.  I can't get setup to pass the =
video test with any combination of adapters and monitors I select.  I've = 
tried the GeForce2 and various generic VGA and SVGA adapters.  I've = tried 
more monitors than I can remember.  The digital interface = identified as 60 Hz 
so I wouldn't expect refresh rates to matter though = to be sure I tried many 
combinations of this too.

  I've noticed that checkmarking "hardware accelration" on some chipsets

with
  any of my video cards. :(
