Try using 'X -configure' - it'll do it for you. After it's done its' stuff, just move
or copy the xorg file it creates in /root/ to /etc/X11/ and name it xorg.conf.

Have you looked into 'SystemSettings -> Desktop' to see what frequency is being used ?
My LCD is a 60 hertz, but is running at 50 - no visual problem detected with this setting.

yes it's 60 Hz - but what v-frequency-range does this match - and what about h-frequency???

I'm not even sure if that's necessary anymore with xorg, but this is what I've been using for years with my old t21 thinkpad with 15" lcd running at 1024x768 @ 60 hz

HorizSync  31.5-48.5
          VertRefresh  50-70

I found that after alot of googling, as I said, years ago and has been working for me but with more modern laptops it might be a tad conservative.

If you don't have a manual for your display, you couls always try the manufacturers website
for the details.
