  I assume this is a CRT, since you are asking about refresh rates.  The
Vesas driver is generic, I don't know how much you can adjust.  Have you
run xorgcfg? You can try xvidtune to adjust the parameters until you get
the right refresh rate.  Then save the modeline and put it in your
xorg.conf.   I you use xorgcfg (graphical configure), it is easier to
tweak the config.
