The vesa framebuffer driver doesn't support setting refresh rates IIRC.
Again, IIRC, some of the card specific drivers do.

I have a Diamond Viper 770 RIVA TNT2 Ultra graphics card. I've tried compiling with
Console drivers --> Frame-buffer support --> nVidia Riva support [*]
instead of the VESA driver, but I can't get it to work. The kernel compiles nicely but when I boot the resolution is 640x400 and I only get the TUX logo instead of the nice bootsplash :-(.
Does the grub.conf need any thing special when I use the nVidia driver (I used the same as previously posted)?
I've also tried appending @85 to 1280x1024 but it doesn't seem to make a difference. (only tried this with the VESA driver)
Okay. First things first: adding a resolution like vesa:1280x1024 and adding a frequency like vesa:[EMAIL PROTECTED] has _no_effect_ whatsoever. Resolution and colour depth are determined solely by the vga= value and hertz is by default 60Hz which cannot be changed.
Secondly, if you are using nvidia kernel support then vesa: should be riva: I think. However, it is best to disable graphics card specific support in kernel and use vesa since nvidia riva support can cause problems.
To answer your question it is not yet possible to run framebuffer at more than 60Hz.
