AFAIK, laptop screens (and LCD in general) do not have refresh rates.
See, my "Monitor" section in XF86Config looks like:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "LCD"
VendorName "Sony"
ModelName "PCG-GR214EP"
EndSection
No refresh rates.

Thanks Jean
I am now one step closer, unforcunately it still not working. I edited
files as you sugested but when X starts it still can not work out what
the monitor is and goes in to most basic setings. The files that I
edited are attached. Help apreciated becouse I am now using Microsoft
Windows XP :(
Many thanks
