[Intel-gfx] How can I set non-60Hz-Modes?

[Dexter Filmore]

I thought of "X without config file" as a bad idea from day one - and each 
time I have to do something that is based on something not properly reported 
by hardware or not properly auto-detected by X it so totally proves me right.

Face it, neither are hardware manufacturers capable of adhering to their 
standards nor is X capable of reading my mind.
