Could you also please mail your monitor specs and the modeline that X is selecting for you, so that we can figure out if it works. You can get the modeline by saving the X startup screen to a disk file.

Actually, that output is stored in /var/log/Xsomething.log
Hello,
I am sorry for taking this long to reply.
My monitor specs are as follows:
Manufacturer: Samsung Model: Samtron 4Bi
Is there any other information you require?
The output is stored by X in its /var/log/XFree86.0.log file.
