Do you have a modeline in your xorg.conf? If so, try taking it out. Or try running 'X -configure' from the console to generate a new basic xorg.conf. Some monitors come with a button or control to automatically tune them to the video source. If you have that it might help as well. If not, try x11/xvidtune.
