I've got a good one : how do you find these refresh rates if the
documentation doesn't mention them ?

Hi,
I have got a LCD, too, and I experienced very good results when I
entered the *exact* refresh rate(s) supported by the LCD display. As
far
as I know you can solve your problem in the way that you just type
in
ONE rate. So X won't look for other rates. (Others may correct me.)
The config file is
/etc/XF86Config
Here you can enter vertical and horizontal rates.
And here a show you a part of my /etc/XF86Config file.
Note, that I entered just one rate and that I entered it exactly as
shown in my LCD manual (as a fraction):
