  depends on whether the XFree config is managed manually or not (it 
asks during install/upgrade)

  if it's managed manually: look for monitor section, update the 
frequencies (most probably no modelines required), it's very simple. the 
config filename is /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 or, if it does not exist, 
/etc/X11/XF86Config
