If you have the specs on your monitor and card you can set this info manually. The really important stuff is the horizontal and vertical scan rates and the max resolution. I just did this for my Laptop which has a NeoMagic 2070 video built in. Using XF86Setup, there is an entry for NeoMagic. I started with that one and edited the hor. and vertical numbers slightly. Either book has great information, the handbook is of course online, but I find the printed version a great reference.
