Jan, are you so sure this exceeds your abilities? It's not that hard.
First open Firefox, right click on this link for the XFree86.dsl file, and choose "Save Link As" to save the file. You could also download it some other way and place it in a drive that dsl can access. Open emelfm from it's icon on the desktop, select the XFree86.dsl file by clicking on it once and hit the MyDSL button (the one in the middle on the top). You can close emelfm now.
Click on the ATerminal icon in the upper left corner of the screen. Copy and paste these two lines into that window. To copy a line select it by left clicking and dragging the cursor over the text. Paste the text into the terminal window by placing the cursor over that window and pressing the middle mouse button. Hit the enter key after each paste.
cp XFree86_config_files/.xserverrc_for_XF86 .xserverrc
sudo cp XFree86_config_files/XF86Config-4_vesa /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Now right click on a clear area of the screen and choose Window Manager->Exit. When you are in the text screen that results type startx and it should bring you back. If that fails, you can always type xsetup.sh and startx and you can get back to where you were before. Chances are that much work will be enough. One download, two pastes, a menu choice, and typing startx certainly isn't more than you're capable of.
If that worked for you, and your refresh rate still looks too slow, you can try changing the refresh rate. Click on the ATerminal icon again, type sudo beaver and then open the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. Scroll down to the bottom and in the Section "Monitor" section you can uncomment the line for VertRefresh and change the high end to what you need. Do a filesave and again chose Window Manager->Exit from the right click menu. Type startx again and you should be all set. Of course it's possible that the refresh rate was good for you before this last step.
It's not that much work. After you get your feet wet, you can play around with other settings and improving things. Just don't push your monitor farther than it was designed to go.
