OK, I can't reinstall the system, but I can blow away the configuration and try
again. The default SaX2 installation gives the attached configuration at
800x600 ... this is the one that has the monitor horizontal refresh too low.
Since this is given at install time, there's no way to modify it.
Next, when you log in, reconfigure display is handled by the 'Configure Display
settings' applet. It's this that tells me I have a 10" monitor and allows me
to set the resolution, and when I set it to 1366x768 it's at too low a refresh
rate.
So the problem is that we get into this situation on the default path a user
would use to configure the system.
If I ignore the display panel applet and fire up SaX2 again, I can then see it
has an unknown monitor and set it to a 1366x768@60Hz panel ... but a causal
user wouldn't know to do this, which is why this is a usability bug.
