Bad refreshrate on tv-out with 9800PRO

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.ati (More info?)

Hey!

I recently got myself a 9800PRO... I've installed the latest drivers
and setup everything so that it runs correct refreshrates on my
monitor (1600x1200@85hz).

I've connected my tv with a S-VHS cable, to tv-out on the card.
Now, in the display-configuration dialog, it says that the maximum
refresh-rate for my tv is 60hz, although it really is a 100hz tv.
How can I change this?
It's really sad to view stuff at 60hz, when you've spent the extra
bugs to get 100hz on the tv.

Oh, also another thing - now that I'm posting.
The saturation is so terrible on the tv... It didn't use to be, but
I'm not sure where the problem may be. Adjusting the sliders in the
overlay-tab doesn't change anything.

Looking forward to any help

one more thing, is the TV being described properly in the attributes
diag window..instead of 'UNKNOWN'?
