Have you implemented KMS for intel as described here? http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml The driver should pick up the necessary refresh rates from EDID and you should not need to set anything up manually. Xorg configuration is only necessary when you want to configure input devices if the default evdev settings are for some reason not suitable for you. I don't have an intel card to compare settings, but hopefully someone ought to come up soon. -- Regards, Mick
