The resulting refresh rate for an LCD should be about 60Hz. Some
will handle up to 75Hz, but many will show an "unclean" picture
if the signal goes that high (for external LCDs connected via
normal VGA anyway).

The Rage should work with the Mach64 driver IIRC. ATI also provides
closed-source drivers, I'd guess those might support the Rage series.
