The app is doing this. It requests modes advertised through the
xf86VidMode extension but picks the first in the list without regards
to refresh rate. The only way to prevent it from doing that is to
change your monitor's VertRefresh in the XF86Config file to exclude
low refresh modes so that XFree86 doesn't advertise them.

That is a extension offered by a commercial X server. XFree86
does not support it. XFree86 has its own extensions.
