weird resolution problem

Hi all,

I've set my default resolution to 1600x1200_75 in my xorg.conf, and that works fine. (my monitor is is definitely running at 75Hz  in X).

However, if I go to "display" in xfce's settings menu, it claims I am running 1600x1200 @ 50Hz (I'm not), I don't even have an option in the dropdown for 75Hz

the output from xranr is as follows:

carl@interstat ~ $  xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 1600 x 1200

   400x300        86.0  
   320x240        87.0     88.0  
   320x175        89.0

It also claims I am running at 50Hz

If I mess around with the display settings, I can set 54 Hz (which looks terrible), but I can't get back to 75Hz without restarting X

anyone know why the higher refresh modes don't seem to be recognised in X?
