I'm not 100% sure (hence I suggested using google).
However, whilst looking for a solution I copied and saved the following text from some
newsgroup (can't remember which one). Its also gives some background about your
problem.

I had the same problems configuring my FPD1500 with a TNT2 card. The real
problem, at least for me, was that the XFree server probes the monitor for
information. You'll notice in the /var/log/XFree86.0.log file that it is
reporting something like HorizSync 48 and VertRefresh 60(i.e. fixed), which
is incorrect in most cases. Even if you specifiy the correct refresh rates
in the XF86config file, which you must, the XFree server uses the probed
values instead. This in turn causes all modes not to match the fixed
refresh rate. To correcte this problem I added the correct refresh rates to
the Monitor section of my XF86config-4 and added the line "Option
'IgnoreEDID' 'on'". This causes the XFree server to ignore the probed
values and use the values specified in the XF86config. Note that using the
wrong refresh rates could cause damage to your monitors, so use this info at
your own risk. Below is my Monitor section for my FPD1500:


Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "FPD1500"
 VendorName "Gateway"
 ModelName "FPD1500"
 HorizSync 30-61
 VertRefresh 56-76
 Option "IgnoreEDID" "on"

Judging from the above it should go in the Monitor section. I hope this helps.
