the ones I've seen so far.
More to the point, all LCD displays use a 60 Hz refresh frequency. You
should be able to create modelines for your screen using the modeline
package (apt-get is your friend).
LCD displays are extremely picky regarding the modelines you feed them,
and the slightest variation can result in a black screen when your start
the X server. I had the problem with the 1400x1050 resolution on my Dell
Latitude C800 until I found a working modeline on the web. Surprisingly
enough, the modeline I'm now using isn't exactly the one calculated by
the modeline package for a 60 Hz display, but corresponds more or less
to 56-57 Hz. I'll have to make some more testing, I guess ...
