   Editing it with a binary editor isn't a problem.  Finding the correct   
   byte is.  There are at least a half dozen occurrences of the byte "41"   
   in the file, which is the hex value for 65 Hz, which assumes, of   
   course, that the refresh rate is stored in units of Hz.   
      
   As soon as I get to my office, I'm going to need to check whether   
   the "last written" dates on the crtc* files correspond to about   
   the same time as the date on the swapper.dat file, which corresponds   
   to the last reboot.  That would at least provide a hint as to   
   whether they get written at graceful shutdown or not.  I' trying to   
   think of a reason why they would NOT get written immediately upon   
   the user making the change in the System object.
