Put a Modeline into the Monitor section of /etc/X11/XF86Config(-4) (or
whatever and wherever your X configuration resides).
A Q&D method I've used to get Modelines is to do a strings on
Xconfigurator and search for the Modeline I want:
strings /usr/bin/X11/Xconfigurator | less
Do a search on Modeline and voila! Modeline heaven. You even get the
comments for the resolution, etc.
Another useful utility is xvidtune for small tweaks.
