On fc4, updated, I have a dell flat screen with a intel i915g chips -
using xoreg i820 - that I want to run at 1280x1024x60.
Desktop-> Preferences -> Screen Resoltuion does not let me change the
refresh rate. It stays at 75hz.
I hand edited xorg.conf so that the monitor section has
VertRefresh 60
No luck.
So I tried disabling the drivers DDC
Option "DDC" "no"
But now it tries to run at 1600x1200 - out of range.
BTW, the Mode line of the Display subsection of Screen had "1280x1024"
and "1024x780".
Any suggestion appreciated.

Well, it turns out it can't be fixed. I've read the i810 man
pages more carefully:
The driver makes use of the video BIOS to program video
modes for the 830M and later. This limits the video modes
that can be used to those provided by the video BIOS, and
to those that will fit into the amount of video memory that
the video BIOS is aware of.
so modelines or anytthing else won't work.
There does appear to be some code that will with the video
bios directly : 915 resolution @
