you will need to edit the monitor section of your xfree86config file. most distro's have tools to help you do this. what distro are you running? or you can edit it manually with a text editor

Then I believe your best bet is to edit this file with a text editor you will just need to input the correct values in the corosponding field. here is the monitor section of my xfree86config

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "NEC MultiSync 97F"
HorizSync 37.0 - 70.0
VertRefresh 55.0 - 120.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection

I hope that helps you out
:)
