How do I custom set my LCD monitor resolution on Debian Linux?

I am a brand new Debian Linux user – and I'm loving it!

My monitor is a Samsung 226BW 16:10 aspect ratio. The display settings
in Debian has only 4 resolution choices, none of which are 16:10 – so
my monitor looks streched. How do I customize the resolution?
I'm looking for step-by-step insructions. As I said, I'm a newbie. Following examples is a great way for me to learn this OS.
