Make it show, then add it into your XF86Config file. This is a new
modeline, e.g., if it says:
"1024x768"     65.15   1024 1056 1248 1440    768  770  778  794 -hsync -vsync

This mean you must add a 
   Modeline  "1024x768"  65.15   1024 1056 1248 1440    768  770  778  794 -hsync -vsync

to the monitor section you are currently using.

If I recall well, XFree86 >= 4.0 does leave the XF86Config file rather
empty. And it yields default modelines that you may lose (? not sure) if
you override the default settings.

You can usually find the default modelines that are getting used in
/var/log/XFree86.0.log
