Some video cards will come with a command line utility for setting the
default retrace rate, but if you don't have one of these, I'm afraid
you are out of luck. There is no standard way to control the refresh
rate of a VESA 1.x driver, and although some functions for doing this
were added in VESA 3.0, they aren't supported by Allegro, partly
because I don't have any VBE 3.0 drivers for testing, and partly
because the VBE 3.0 spec is not freely available, so I don't know how
to use these functions.
