Bad refreshrate on tv-out with 9800PRO

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 :)
 
I was told that the refresh rate for 100hz TVs (by doubling the
ordinal field) is not the same thing has the refresh of a PC monitor,
I have not verified this however. you are using a high quality s- vid
cable that is not exceeding the length limits?
 
one more thing, is the TV being described properly in the attributes
diag window..instead of 'UNKNOWN'?
 
Sorry for my stupidity, but I was (for unknown reasons) using NTSC
instead of PAL B. I guess my tv is okay with both, except that it will
only run 60Hz with NTSC... Now it works... That's cool!
Thanks all for your help!!
