You didnt mention which grafics card or  - to be more specific - which
grafics driver you are using.

I experienced the same as you when using the official NVidia driver
for my grafics card.
But, when using the "nv" driver coming with X, I was able to set the
refresh rate to 100Hz as well.

So my assumption is, that the official NVidia driver is the cause of
this problem.
