Didn't find anything interesting in your link, Beam.

I can only run Ubuntu in 1280*1024, and only in 60 Hz. No need to tell why, after 5 seconds, I was back to 1024*768 at 85 Hz. Can't I have 85 Hz there as well ?

Get a Cedega update ? I thought it was valid during 3 months only...

Beam, not sure if you can tell (was it recent ?), but would you be able to precisely describe how you got Civ4 to work on Edgy Eft ? Maybe I could just start all over again (if only I can keep my Cedega somewhere during the erasing, or if I can still get it at their website).
Go to page 15, about 9th post. It explains a couple of things how to run Civ IV better in Cedega,

Edgy Eft, why use that version? Tried Dapper Drake already (6.0.6 LTS)???

For correctly setting your res and refreshrate you have to edit your xorg.conf (sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf). Use this thread as a start: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973. It works fine in 6.0.6, not sure about Edgy Eft however. This the screen related section of my xorg.conf (in bold is what I had to add / edit iirc):
