I think that this refresh rate is in "VGA Output" and not to your LCD video.
Your video card can reproduce a refresh rate of 75, 85 and 100Hz (with 
lower resolution), but your LCD video can't.

Your LCD is 15" or 15.4" (widescreen)?
1280x800 is to LCD widescreen.
You can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, inserting 1024x768 in section "Screen", 
subsection "Modes".
