You should be able to use cvt to generate the modeline you need.  Then
you can use xrandr --newmode to add it, xrandr --addmode to associate it
with the appropriate output, and then use xrandr to set the mode.

I've successfully used this technique when my laptop is connected to a
projector through a long VGA cable (and possible a switch/splitter) that
prevents it from reading the EDID info.
