First post here, hope this helps but note I've only recently tried
xrandr myself - it's worked wonders for me after years of xorg.conf
frustrations (I frequently switch between monitors and drivers for
arcane reasons like my girlfriend wanting to watch tv on her
widescreen tv when I'm using it as a monitor... she wins, of course).

I found this page to be the most informative in figuring this out for myself:

Before using
   $ xrandr --addmode ...

you need to first run
   $ xrandr --newmode <ModeLine>

Only you have to come up with the proper modeline filler gunk. I was
lucky and found it in an old xorg.conf file from a different
distro/same monitor but you can download modeline calculators such as

(have not tried it myself)
