6 the monitor frequency you see in windows is "VertRefresh" from
7 xorg.conf. You don't have to specify a range, you can also give a
8 discrete value.

18 be careful just randomly changing these values - you can sometimes to
19 bad things to your monitor.

21 To stop this, X probes your monitor (if it supports EDID) to get the
22 refresh and sync values it can display, and it won't let you set the
23 value outside this.
24
25 I would troll through /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if you can see
26 anything interesting about EDID or sync, etc.

28 HTH!
