No need to consult man pages to change your monitor specs, just open
your XF86Config in editor, find these lines:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "My Monitor"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Unknown"
HorizSync 30-50
VertRefresh 47-104
Change values for HorizSync and VertRefresh to match your hardware.
Save and restart your Xserver.
:)
Good Luck
