Hello,

I just managed to install current Bluebottle "crazy fresh"
and to get 85 Hz refresh rate, 1280x1024x32 with graphic card
Matrox G450 on my Sony G400 CRT-monitor.

Great!

I was not too confident because setting refresh rate using VESA 3.0
BIOS calls is very difficult. 

First I tried to use VESA-ModeID in hexadecimal, because in VESA
BIOS EXTENSION manual hexadecimal MODE-IDs are used and
Andre Fischer used 117 in his example.

For me it was working after using decimal Mode-ID:

Aos.Call DisplayGTF.Mode 283 1280 1024 32 85 ~

gives me the correct INIT-String.

Thanks
