I guess the number that I see there is my refresh rate, "60". I can't figure out any way, short of playing with the settings in xvidtune, to change that. XF86Setup does not present me with a clear way to configure a 1600 X 1280 monitor's refresh rate. It looks to me that I am at a higher rate than 60. I can usually see a flicker at 60 Hz, and I don't see one now.
