C'est surement un probleme de frequence de ton moniteur.
Prend le manuel et configure Xfree pour qu'il n'utilise que les 
frequence disponible pour ton moniteur.
Pour les plantage XFree, le plus propre et de repasser en terminal par 
telnet si tu est en reseaux ou en pressant ctr+alt+F1 pour obtenir une 
console virtuelle (sois patient avec Xfree 4 il arrive que cela prenne 
plus de 2 minute lorsqu'il est plant�), et d'arreter X windows 
proprement si possible sinon 'killall -9 X'
