Use that. You need to set the video output device and then the resolution. Check devices with obdiag and choose test-all. Exit then > setenv ouput-device /path to card then setenv ouput-device screen:rWxHxfrequency. After this, you'll get an xorg.conf and you can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for whatever frequencies are scanned. Your next problem will be keeping Xorg from loading unnecessary modules. I don't know a way around that yet.
