No way (in GUI) to change refresh rate of screen. I suspect my screen is not at a high enough refresh rate (i see flicker and it's making me ill), and i can't change it using a GUI.
We should be detecting your screen better - please append the output of running as root kudzu -p -b ddc and attach your xorg.conf. Also please give full hardware details of your setup.

It is possible that moving to the s3virge driver may help. Please note the comments in bug #125866 about reported video corruption bug #59956 What version of hwdata do you have? What is the output of lspci -vn? Can you update to hwdata-0.124-1 or later and run system-config-display --reconfig and see if the behaviour improves?
The config file given lists the driver as "vesa". The vesa driver is incapable of setting video modes not listed in the video bios, and occasionally fails even then. In its current state of report, this bug is unfixable. Please reopen if this is still an issue with FC5.
