[tlinux-users:08620] Re: Refresh Rates in Xorg (Debian Etch)

You shouldn't be running an LCD panel at anything other
than 60 Hz anyway.

Unless you want to hook a CRT up to it (in which case you
are really going to want to be running higher than 60 Hz) I
would just ignore it (when LCDs do run at above 60 Hz they
typically just drop frames so that they only display 60 Hz
anyway).
