You'll probably have more luck with the SVGA driver. I don't know which winmodem is in your particular laptop, but it might work; you can find a listing of the ones that do at http://www.linmodems.org . The few laptops that run Linux where I have had the opportunity to check what they claimed their refresh rates to be have claimed to run at a vertical refresh of 60 Hz, so the timings that come with the default X configurations should work for standard resolutions. You're right that they don't have an electron beam and don't use the timings in the same way as a CRT; I don't know if they just ignore the refresh rate or if they use it to synchronize with the graphics card in some manner.
