I don't see anything obviously missing there.  Perhaps "60.0 - 60.0" would
work better for VertRefresh, though.  Or it might not make any difference.

One thing to note, in your web page you point to a conf file in /etc/sysconfig?
How does 915resoltuion know to use that?

That's how program in the "official rpm" installs itself.  The configuration
file is /etc/sysconfig/915resolution.  I assume that directory and filename are
built into the program.

Again, the rpm does do that.  I never installed 915resolution from anything
other than the rpm, myself.

Perhaps your best bet would be to download the 915resolution srpm and tear it
apart, copy the newer files in and do any editing that's required, and rebuild
it to be the newer version, then install that. (I don't know how much work that
would be as I haven't looked at that srpm.)

There is a greater-than-zero chance that you're doing something wrong.  The
more I think about it the more I think you would be best off to try building
a 915resolution rpm and go from there.  I know that the "rpm method" works,
provided that you have a rpm to work with, of course.
