Thanks,
I've found info about the monitor and resolution  modes in the
monitor's manual.
You actually don't have to define frequency.
I see something else in the output of the "dmesg" command:
  
  VT(vga): resolution 640x480

I guess that's the problem. But I do not remember how to fix it
after clean installation.
