Your LCD monitor should indicate what horizontal & verticle frequency it's
running at. Now, go into /etc/X11/XF86Config and find the "monitor section".
Change the vert&horiz settings and then save the file. Log out and restart
X. Log back in and change resolution to 1024x768. The key to this is to get
the frequencies to to match. Also, you may need to adjust width and heighth
so it 'fits' perfectly. LCDs are digital by nature so you'll just have to
get the X pixels to line up with your LCD pixels. Think of it that way.
