Hi,
if you get the right solution with xvidtune hit the show button and you get
in your term a line like:
"1024x768"     94.50   1024 1092 1188 1376    768  769  772  808 +hsync +vsync
I added this to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf in section monitor (like this):

[...]
Section "Monitor"
	ModeLine     "1024x768 at 84" 94.5 1024 1092 1188 1376 768 769 772 808 +hsync +vsync
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
	VendorName   "NEC"
	ModelName    "NEC FE700"
[...]
