These specifications are that of a multisync monitor, so it should sync to any default mode that XFree86 picks for it if you have filled in the HorizSync and VertRefresh appropriately in the XF86Config file. Other info on the web that I see confirms the specifications of: HorizSync 30 - 121 VertRefresh 48 - 160 It sounds like you have a problem with the monitor or graphics card or graphics card driver (most likely the later). Do any modes work correctly? You might want to try borrowing another monitor to see if you get the same problem on a different monitor. I would guess that you would, and that it's a driver problem.
