The script which uses xrandr, yad and cvt programs.
It makes a custom resolution, and you can test a created resolution for five seconds if you want. If you set too high resolution, xrand should refuse to use that resolution, but be careful so that you do not explode your display. (it may be possible if you have an old crt display).
With vesa graphich driver the script may not work.
