Same general idea, another datapoint? I have a GeForce 7300 LE PCI Express card and a 24" BenQ FP241VW monitor. I've had all sorts of difficulties with Xorg and with Gnome not wanting to run my monitor above a 50Hz refresh rate. Most of the time I can get Xorg to figure things out if none of the modelines in Xorg.conf are correct.
