For a CRT monitor, below 75 Hz is not acceptable, unless you push it to 
its last capabilities. for a LCD, 60 Hz is enough (and the usual rate).

This should be autodected by Xorg after negotiation between the video 
card and the monitor (DDC protocol).

I understand it as "did the startup music yelled or was sweet to your 
ears?".

Yes, as when you want to use a video projector.

This is a thing that the default Xorg config in Fedora seems to offer, 
so it may be a reachable goal, maybe just changing the xorg.conf template?
