Where is the file that has the configuration of the screen refresh rate?
 
Just need it's location so I can edit it, you don't have to tell me where I can locate a program that edits the file, I already know about a program that does that, just need the location of the file.

In Fedora 2, it is usually in /etc/X11/XF86Config

Peace,

/etc/X11/xorg.conf
I see the file but I don't see the settings for the refresh rate, I think my screen is set to 60Mhz right now but the number 60 isn't even in this file..

I believe it is the VertRefresh, which in your case is huge, 48-120. My system also has an "unknown" monitor, and mine is trimmed down to 50-70. You can try trimming that and restarting x, see if that improves things.

Peace,

Cool, now everything works as I want it to. :)
I wanted to change the refresh rate to 75 and the resolution to 1280x960. The tools red hat gave me just didn't want to do that..
I think I know better then the tools what my hardware is capable of. :)
