There is a workaround to avoid the Xvesa 60 Hz refresh rate - when googling
I found the following:

Refresh rates
=============
There is no way to change the vesafb video mode and/or timings after
booting linux.  If you are not happy with the 60 Hz refresh rate, you
have these options:
* configure and load the DOS-Tools for your the graphics board (if
 available) and boot linux with loadlin.
* use a native driver (matroxfb/atyfb) instead if vesafb.  If none
 is available, write a new one!
* VBE 3.0 might work too.  I have neither a gfx board with VBE 3.0
 support nor the specs, so I have not checked this yet.

I tried the first and it works - I am now running 640x480 at 72 Hz using a 
Tseng
ET4000 card. The problem may be to find any dos tools ... (Scitech have some
dos tools that may/may not work, http://www.scitechsoft.com/ftp/sdd/).
