I guess the refresh rates have not changed with the Xfree86 release,
but I had the same problem (except my LCD can only go to 800x600 and I
did not manage to hit more that 64x480).  It seems that the problem
was the default depth: my Neomagic didn't have enough RAM to handle
800x600 in 24 bit depth.  Changing the DefaultDepth to 16 solved the
problem.

Hope this helps,
Roland.
