EDID reports a refresh range of 58-62 Hertz which I overrode in xorg.conf.
I've learned that overriding detected values is discouraged. The prefered solution would be to alter the EDID data in your display harwdare or insert a special EDID sending device in the monitor cable.
Configuration of software is not done through conf files anymore, it is done using hardware. If autodetection gives values you do not want, you have to alter the hardware.
The reason for this policy is, if someone succeeds in solving some issue using altered conf files, he might post this solution to the internet, where someone else might find and try it. In certain cases this could even damage hardware.
So it looks like it's safer to leave the user with a hardware that does not run due to lacking setting options than giving the user the possibility to damage his hardware using wrong settings.
