hi, I'm a new user on linux, I use 1152x864 with a refresh rate of 60Hz,
unfortunately, linux code doesn't support it natively. I've got resolution,
But every time I have to run a command, when i boot up.
xrandr --newmode "1152x864_60.00"  81.75  1152 1216 1336 1520  864 867 871

VGA1 --mode 1152x864_60.00
this one. Can i make linux to support 60Hz resolution? My video card is
intel's G41 I think.

You'll need to add an xorg.conf.  Add a monitor section for the
display you want to add the mode to and include a the modeline in the
monitor section.  For more details see this page:

Xorg is smart enough to autogenerate its own modelines on demand if given the right framework within which to work as a substitute for EDID or to override it. All xorg.conf needs are skeleton Screen, Device and Monitor sections, with HorizSync and VertRefresh specified. If this fails to permit 1152x864 by default, then add 'Option "PreferredMode" "1152x864"' to Section Monitor. My G41 responds to such setup perfectly with a variety of displays.

If your distro provides a skeleton file set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ you can use them instead of xorg.conf.
