[K12OSN] Monitor trouble

I have started a project at our school using a nice dell server and some 
new dell machines.  The dells came with a E551 dell 15" monitor that is 
giving me trouble.  

I can manually put in a modeline for the workstation that will give me 
800x600 resolution, but haven't had success with anything higher.  The 
manual for the monitor didn't provide and specific frequency information.  
I found the 800x600 modeline on another list serve I found when I search 
google for modelines for my monitor.  

I am using the new k12ltsp beta and am not very familiar with how the 
script works that automatically generates the XF86Config.  Is there 
anything that I can do to utilize the "powers" of that script so that 
these monitors can be automatically detected?  I feel sure that I can get 
a modeline for the monitor tomorrow, I just hope that I won't have to add 
a line in the lts.conf file to support each one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
