Use the "XServer Display Configuration" tab.  To the right of the field
field "Resolution:" is an drop down field.  It is the refresh rate.  It
only offers the valid ones for the chosen resolution.

My xorg.conf is blow.  There was no real science to figuring it out,
just weeks of trial and error.  I hate xorg.conf with a passion.
