I have always had to edit the resulting
~/xorg.conf.new
to add the HorizSync and VertRefresh lines to match
my monitor, given that Xorg seems to not detect my
primitive hardware perfectly.  You may want to look up
your own monitor timings, as these will likely not work.

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "Monitor Model"
 HorizSync 31-92
 VertRefresh 55-160
EndSection
