change the VertRefresh above to something like
           VertRefresh     56.0 - 60.0
or if you want it to be only 60 then
           VertRefresh     60.0 - 60.0
will work.

This is what I had to do when mine tried to use the default settings but
would never allow use of the maximum resolution for the monitor unless
it was at 60.0.  My default was also the 56.0 - 75.0 range.
