I'm glad that it works at 1280x1024 for you. I believe 
system-config-display writes the xorg.conf file but does little after 
the file is configured. gnome-display-properties seems to read the 
settings from whatever is setup in the xorg.conf file as reference. I am 
not sure what active role it plays with the display when you are using 
the GUI.

Regarding 87 hz being detected by the display, 85 HZ might be sent out 
by your videocard and 87HZ is detected by your display. It could be 
reversed also w/ the video driver clocking at 87 vs.85, I did notice 
That I had to offset  my vertical adjstment on my display after applying 
the last update to xorg-x11 to my system.
Either way, I'll try 1024x768 on the 865G that I use at work and check 
what  happens with my system. Thanks for narrowing the problem down to 
the settings. My curiousity is triggered now.

Jim
