Then execute the following: xrandr --newmode <modeline> xrandr --addmode LVDS 1440x900_60.00 xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1440x900_60.00 Replace numbers if necessary. This works for me. My system-config also doesn't display the right modes for my monitors. I'm not sure about automating it (someone else will surely chime in); I execute something similar in a script manually after I log in to get my dual head display to my liking.
