The easy way, if you can find out how to do it, is to get your monitor
to display the frequency that it is running at e.g. my ADI does that
when I use the display adjustment controls

The harder way will be to study VideoModes.doc (found in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc on my RedHat system) and then do the sums for
your specifications as above. The sums won't be hard, but working out
what sum to do may well be :-)
