You can always try the VESA modes:

ModeLine  "640x480"    31.5    640  664  704  832    480  489  492  520
ModeLine  "800x600"    36      800  824  896 1024    600  601  603  625
ModeLine  "800x600"    40      800  840  968 1056    600  601  605  628 +hsync +vsync
ModeLine  "800x600"    50      800  856  976 1040    600  637  643  666 +hsync +vsync
ModeLine "1024x768"    65     1024 1032 1176 1344    768  771  777  806 -hsync -vsync
ModeLine "1024x768"    75     1024 1048 1184 1328    768  771  777  806 -hsync -vsync

Be careful, however.  If your monitor is fixed-frequency you could fry it with
the wrong ModeLine.
