If it's not possible to change the refresh rate, then SAYING SO, right in the relevant DSL menu would save a lot of forum time.  Us n00bs expect to find a simple way to set the refresh, so we beat our brains out looking for the simple menu  option.

Put the disclaimer where it's needed -- in the menu where -- in  a perfect world -- the setting would be.

Wikipedia has a nice rundown of the VESA versions over at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions .  Refresh rate was added as of VBE 3.0, released September 1998.

A next generation vesafb-tng driver, with refresh rate control, was done for Ubunto and Gentoo, and is available over at http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/vesafb-tng/ .
