Refresh rate parameter issues

1) refresh rate parameter does not match desktop by default in windowed mode. Have to specify parameter manually for max smoothness

2) can we have a command for getting the os - specified refresh rate of a given graphics mode?

Most games set the opengl refresh to that of the host os for that resolution - it makes a great deal of sense...

60hz is pitifully poor and is giving me a damned headache! likewise I do not want to force 85hz on a user with a bad monitor!

Your thoughts please

the refresh rate value is more to do with the game speed, much like waittimer was in BlitzBasic and Blitz3D.

It keeps the game speed constant on different machines.

Then why does it change how flickery it is under fullscreen?

Probably because the windowed mode isn't supported properly yet, only fullscreen.
