I have MDK10.0 came with XFree I installed Xorg on mine the
xorg.conf is linked to XF86Config-4
xorg.conf -> XF86Config-4
Should be a section

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "monitor1"
    VendorName "Dell"
    ModelName "Dell P780"
    HorizSync 30-85
    VertRefresh 48-120

But be aware that you could damage a videocard or monitor with the
wrong values, at least that was warnings I have seen.

You can do a google search for linux and your monitor/display and
see if others have dealt with your hardware.

Keep an open mind on what hardware can do in windows and what it can
do in Linux.
