There are two standard modes out there: vga and svga. They have standard frequencies
to use and this are the same your notebook will accept. If you can't find the
frequencies (I think the standard XF86Config should contain them as a comment) use
these here together with the svga driver:

# 640x480 @ 60 Hz, 31.5 kHz hsync
Modeline "640x480"     25.175 640  664  760  800   480  491  493  525
# 800x600 @ 56 Hz, 35.15 kHz hsync
ModeLine "800x600"     36     800  824  896 1024   600  601  603  625
