Try this.

First, see if you can get the VertRefresh and HorizSync numbers for
your LCD display.  Your manual or the web page for the manufacturer
may have them.

Then, go ahead and finish dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. At some point
you will see a question about those numbers.  These are the most
important numbers, as I understand, for the display.

Note. If you get into dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and get confused
or unsure, you can always do it over until you understand it. I have
done this many times.
