A likely reason for this is that X was unable to properly determine
the Horizontal and Vertical refresh rate.  Get these values from your
computer monitor.  And put them into the xorg.conf.

It is said that overshooting these values can
damage your monitor, but I have a hunch that newer monitors catch this
and refuse to play.
