The horysontal sync and vertival refresh rates aren't likely
to be the same, so you'll have to adapt your current xorg.conf
I've read a few times that wrong values can harm your screen
(but never seen it happen) so be careful.
Or you can use 'xorgconfig' and answer the questions step by step.
I did this on a 17'' dell TFT at work and it worked first try.
Good luck
Maxime
