Find the ModeLine in your XF86Config for your 1024x768 screen. The
first number is the pixel clock (dot clock). Multiply it by (85/75)
and everything else scales in proportion. Just make sure you are still
within the sync range of your monitor.
If you haven't got a Modeline run xvidtune and copy the numbers into
one:
ModeLine "1024x768" "dotclock h hsyncstart hsyncend htotal v
vsyncstart vsyncend vtotal" (names might be slightly off but ordering
is OK)
see man XF86Config for more on modelines.
