Refresh rate is controlled by the graphics card, not the monitor.
Having a p&p monitor just means that you can query it to see what
settings it will support, so that you don't try to set too high
a rate. Once you've used this information function to make your
decisions, it is up to the graphics driver to set what you want.

VESA 3.0 does include some functions for modifying refresh rates,
but I don't know anything about how to use them.
