There should be a line in your /var/log/messages file that shows the refresh rate; at least intelfb does show that; not sure vesafb does the same.
those options, what do they do? are they also valid for vesafb?
you can read in your linux kernel doc directory /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt or search for vesafb.txt. -- Valmor
