In your Subsection "Display" you specified "1280x1024" for the mode. The server will usually pick the mode with the highest refresh rate out of the internal mode pool (which includes a 75 Hz Vesa mode) and the modes read from the monitor's EDID (plug and play information). In your case, however, the monitor specified a preferred mode which was 60 Hz so that mode took precedence. If you want to exclude low refresh modes then you can raise the lower limit of the VertRefresh in your Section "Monitor" in the XF86Config file. You have: VertRefresh 50 - 75 Changing this to: VertRefresh 70 - 75 Would exclude the monitor's plug and play preferred mode and the server's builtin 60 Hz Vesa mode and use the server's builtin 75 Hz Vesa mode.
