Doubtful that any of this should really be neeeded as most reasonably
modern lcd screens should give all the required info to X via EDID.
Take a look at the log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if edid data is
being received.
A better description of the hardware and the actual problem may lead to
further help.

Google will know those numbers.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf is the ultimate screen definition file if that's any help.
Get the screen properties from the manufacturers website, and look for the
following sections:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 28-96
VertRefresh 43-60
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 0"
Device "Graphics Adapter 0"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1400x1024" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection
EndSection
You'll be wanting to change the HorizSync, VertRefresh and Modes in the above
section to support your lappie.

I've had issues with my screen resolution with the screen not filling
the entire screen of my laptop. I went to System - Preferences - Screen
Resolution the refresh rate drop box has only one setting 0 hz which I'm
assuming is causing my problem.
I remember there's a text file to alter these settings but can't
remember where it is. Any pointers?
