setting refresh rate on intel 945G VBE 3.0 VGA (Users)

I was noticed by Bear Windows (author of VBEMP driver) that newer intel graphics should fully support VBE 3.0 including refresh rate settings. Now I have 945G onboard VGA (together with my PCIE nvidia), it claims to be VBE 3.0 but when I try to set higher refresh rate (with UNIVBE VBETEST or VBEHz tool) it mess-up the screen (black with some short random vertical lines at top of the screen) and monitor OSD tells me the timing is still 60Hz. When it switch back to textmode, screen goes normal. Did someone else have 945G or similar and successfully tested it?

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
