I just had a look at the Screen Resolution control panel, and mine only
allows selecting of 60, 75, and 85 Hz.  These look like the predefined
VESA modelines.

If these aren't satisfactory, try adding your own modelines to
xorg.conf.  There's a couple of web sites out there to help calculate
the numbers.  You might also be able to use a configuration tool such as
xvidtune.
