Well, the set X to output different refresh rates you could just edit /etc/X11/XF86Config file by hand and change the value for VertRefresh under the section "Monitor" to 50... Always write down your current settings before making any changes and DO NOT make this change unless you know how to reset this setting from terminal mode... If you have a true PNP monitor then at this setting you should at least get a viewable picture and then you can fine tune the picture on the monitor itself.
