Did you try XFree86 -configure? This seems to scan your video card/monitor and starts with something that (it thinks) might work (must be run as root). xf86cfg and xf86config are the other configuration programs. Install (or README - I forget which) in the XFree86 distribution describes them. One of these is text based. If you have your monitor specs you might have some luck with that one. newbie@XFree86.Org is helpful if you are just getting started. It is a lot of traffic but I think archives are available.
