Why is xorg ignoring the frequencies I give it?

I have sent a mail to the list with my config and log file but it is
awaiting approval from the moderator due to its size.

In the mean time, I have pasted below the sections of my conf file that
appear to be relevant as well as some fragments of the log file.

This config file was created by the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org command and
does not contain the frequencies (seems to get them correctly using DPMS). I
get the same results whether I specify the frequency or not.

Thanks,

Andy.
