You need to find out (from the manual or from IBM) the horizontal sync and
vertical refresh specifically. Enter those as custom values rather than
trying to "pick a screen". You probably have a TFT, not an LCD, anyway.
LCD's usually have a much lower frequency preference than a main monitor.
You should be able to modyf XF86Config directly to put the correct range
of values in there, rather than depending on a selector.
