OOPS! Also try this!
if your NOT using windoze, try and find some utilities for your card on the
internet (those that have to do with your video card's refresh rate). Set
the refresh rate lower. This works on my two computers (one with ATI ALL IN
WONDER PRO AND also a MATROX MYSTIQUE. ALSO! try using XF86Setup instead of
setup or XF86Config as it has a little more to it than the others. Goto the
maker's website of your monitor and get the exact specs of your
monitor(Minimum and maximum HSync and Vsync) and input those in the monitor
section of  XF86Setup.
