As mentioned by me in two previous posts. You might need a modeline and
you can get the needed values by the command "cvt <resolution
v-frequency>, e.g.:
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ cvt 1152 864 90
# 1152x864 89.80 Hz (CVT) hsync: 81.99 kHz; pclk: 127.25 MHz
Modeline "1152x864_90.00" 127.25 1152 1232 1352 1552 864 867 871 913
-hsync +vsync
