Have you tried to manually set the horz and vert sync for this monitor? Sounds like they are incorrect. Using mandrake control center click on Hardware and then the X for display. Then click the more button this will allow you to change your monitor. Choose Custom and then follow the instructions to manually enter the horz and vert sync from your users manual. This should bring you up. If you still have trouble try a lower resolution to get you going and then "adjust from there once it runs.
If you are stuck at the command line run drakxconf choose Display Configuration and then Cancel This will put you in a mode where you can change the monitor in the same manor as above from the command line.
