/var/log/Xorg.0.log should show where X is going wrong.  X is usually 
pretty wordy about what it's doing.

If it's a refresh rate problem, setting it to 60 Hz should work without 
any visible flicker on the LCD.

Some of those model of Satellite appear to have come with a 1024x768 
screen, so that's worth trying also.
