Ubuntu Linux - Screen Refresh

Hi all Linux Gurus!

I've installed Ubuntu Linux and I'm really happy with it. All except for one thing. Can't seem to be able to change the screen refresh about 60hz. Anyone familiar with Ubuntu and can help me

If Ubuntu does not provide a graphical tool to change the refresh rate you can always use the modeline generator.
http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl

That will allow you to add modelines to your XF86Config file (assuming it is the same on X.org as the config files are also the same).
