You most probably need to explicitly write down the Hsync/VSync ranges
in your xorg.conf file.

For example, something like this:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "LCD Display"
        HorizSync       25-80
        VertRefresh     56-75
EndSection

You need to look up the correct values for horizontal sync and
vertical refresh rate of your monitor.

In addition, you may need to generate specific ModeLines for the
graphical modes you wish to use.  You can do this with 'gtf'.  You
just need to add the output of this program in your xorg.conf.
So you would end up with something like this:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "LCD Display"
        HorizSync       25-80
        VertRefresh     56-75
                        # 1280x1024 @ 70.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 74.62 kHz; pclk: 128.94 MHz
        Modeline        "1280x1024_70.00"   128.94  1280  1368  1504  1728  1024  1025  1028  1066  -HSync  +Vsync
EndSection

Then, in the Screen section, you need to add this mode.  For example
like this:

Section "Screen"
        ...
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1280x1024_70.00"
        EndSubSection
EndSection


Good luck,
