Yes you must be careful with the refresh rates!  they'll smoke a monitor
pretty bad.  Don't trust the installer to get it right, that is why booting to
the graphics window option is dangerous, lost my install a few times because
of that and didn't know about the kb short cost to quit out of the xwindows
program.  My latest machine is an old clunker and the video card won't work in
the 6.2 installer, but I know it's settings so I set it and then when all is
done installing I can get into xwindows fine.  The trick is I set the CTX-1451
default refresh rates about 10 Hz (s)lower (on both) other wise the thing wigs
out and the screen doesn't appear at all).
