You may need to create a modeline entry in xorg.conf to match your monitor.

For example, in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I find this:

(II) I810(0): Supported additional Video Mode:
(II) I810(0): clock: 149.0 MHz   Image Size:  474 x 296 mm
(II) I810(0): h_active: 1680  h_sync: 1784  h_sync_end 1960 h_blank_end 2240 h_b
order: 0
(II) I810(0): v_active: 1050  v_sync: 1053  v_sync_end 1059 v_blanking: 1089 v_b
order: 0
(II) I810(0): Ranges: V min: 56  V max: 76 Hz, H min: 31  H max: 82 kHz, PixCloc
k max 150 MHz
(II) I810(0): Monitor name: AL2223W
(II) I810(0):  ACER

Therefore, the modeline that I made for my Acer AL2223W monitor looks like
this:

 Modeline "1680x1050" 149 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089

You can see the relationship between the numbers.
