xrandr --newmode 1280x1024 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA1 1280x1024 xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 You may have to tweak the modeline or specify a reduced blanking mode if your monitor is picky about the timing. use cvt or cvt -r to generate modelines.
