[plug] changing refresh rate

[Nima Talebi]

 Basically you have to play with those two lines, 4 numbers, and optimise
it.

do a google search for "XF86Config HorizSync VertRefresh howto"... + maybe
your video card chipset, you might be lucky and someone else has done the
exact same card and documented it. good luck.
