Play with the following. 
You'll likely need change VGA1 to match the name of the output 
you want to use. 

xrandr --delmode VGA1 "1920x1080_60.00" 2>/dev/null
xrandr --rmmode "1920x1080_60.00" 2>/dev/null
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00"  173.00  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1920x1080_60.00"
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode "1920x1080_60.00"

If you don't figure it out, screen scrape and post the output 
of the following commands: 

xrandr
xrandr --delmode VGA1 "1920x1080_60.00" 2>/dev/null
xrandr --rmmode "1920x1080_60.00" 2>/dev/null
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00"  173.00  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1920x1080_60.00"
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode "1920x1080_60.00"
xrandr
