Hi,

I have a Power Mac 5500/250 (which has what I believe to be a 15" AV
Multiple Scan Display, though I may be wrong).
Since I installed OS 8.6 with ColorSync 2.6.1, my recommended resolution
settings in the Monitors & Sound control panel have been wrong. 832x624,75Hz
(which is what it was set on when I did the upgrade from 8.1) is the only
one that's right. 
I know that this can be got around with "show: all" in the control panel,
but I switch resolutions frequently, and having to pick the scan rates by
trial and error is a time consuming pain in the butt. I'm sure it's not good
for the monitor to be switching to incorrect scan rates all the time either.
Is there any way I can get the recommended settings to return to the correct
rates, and why would it have changed?

Cheers,

Ben
