Why won't Fedora 9 let my screen use a decent refresh rate?

[reject]

So today I installed Fedora 9 on my PC, good choice etc etc I know thanks, anyway, at first it wouldn't let me have a decent resolution, only some shitty one, so I updated the drivers using yum and that sorted that problem out, but when I go to System --> Preferences --> Hardware --> Screen Resolution it won't let me set it to anything above 60Hz, and when I do the screen just goes black and nothing happens and I have to reset

Any ideas?

Are you sure your monitor can handle different refresh rates? If its turning black if you change it, that's probably the case...

Probably got something to do with Linux and it sucking huuugely.

Well on Windows it was at 100Hz

Don't worry guys, I've sorted it.

I don't know. Somehow it's just at 85Hz now.
