Need help with new monitor

[Steven W. Orr]

I'm running an old copy of debian sarge. I came in this morning and found 
that someone had taken my old lcd monitor and replaced it with a different 
one that was wider. The new monitor runs at 1440x900 native and I was 
running at 1280x1024. Here's the catch: The specs for the new monitor does 
not give the min and max horiz and vert syn rates. (I kid you not). It's a 
Gateway FPD1975W 19" LCD. I changed the SubSection Display to add the 
native resolution:

         SubSection "Display"
                 Depth           24
                 Modes           "1440x1440" "1280x1024"
         EndSubSection

but if the 1280x1024 is removed then X fails to start with frequency out 
of range. If it's left in then it drops to 1280x1024. The old frequencies 
that are still in the configfile (for lack of anything else to try) are

         HorizSync    30-85
         VertRefresh  50-160

(seems reasonable)

Does anyone have any clue where to start with this beast?
