Current x.org versions should be able to auto-detect the VertRefresh
and HorizSync settings, as well as appropriate modelines. So I would
comment out all such stuff from your xorg.conf file, and see if the
autodetection will work.
Probably the easiest way to do this will be:
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.save
X -configure
(follow the printed instructions for testing the generated config)
mv <path from X -configure> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
You may have to change /dev/mouse to /dev/input/mice in the generated
config before it will work.
Then you can diff the generated config with your old one, and see what
settings you want/need to keep.
