Heavily depends on what you're using - both software, and
hardware wise. If you're not using a hi-res framebuffer but
the standard VGA resolution there's probably not too much
you can do, you'll be stuck with the 56Hz... if you're using one
of the framebuffer modes it depends on the graphics card/driver
you're using. Have a look at
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/ ,
in particular the framebuffer.txt and vesafb.txt files ....
