You could use xvidtune in order to print out the desired settings for your
monitor/adapter combination.
I know that I did do a from scratch optimal resolution/frequency using a step by
step linux howto included in the docs distributed with XFree86-3.3.x. Although
if I remember correctly it did require that you know both the horizontal and
vertical restraints of the monitor to achieve the accurate calculations. I
think in the outcome of my calculations I ended up with 968x7?? resolution at
72Hz.
