[SDL] XFree86 4.3.0, SDL 1.2.5 refresh rates ...

As anyone figured out what's going on with this combination yet?  
Specifically, when mode switches are done in SDL apps, SDL seems to be 
using the VESA standard refresh rates, and not the ones specified in the 
XF86Config file.

It's really annoying having a monitor that can do 100 Hz refreshes, and 
most games are going to 72, or even 60!  It's especially annoying since 
the problem wasn't there in X 4.2.1.

Based on quite a bit of experimentation, I've determined that SDL is the 
cause.  Games that don't use SDL, and other apps (VMWare, mplayer, etc) 
work fine.
