I don't claim to be an XFree86 expert, but I don't believe there is any
way to directly specifiy a refresh rate in your XF86Config file. At least, 
I don't know of a way in XFree86 4.x.

You need to set the maximum vert and horizontal refresh rate that your 
monitor can support (from the monitor manual) and XFree will drive the
monitor at the fastest refresh rate it can support. This is not directly
related to your vert refresh settting. Indeed, I'm sure your monitor can do
a vert refresh faster than 100 Hz.

Good luck,

Heath
