Hmmm. If you try a slightly lower-resolution mode (say the 1600x1200 you 
tried earlier), or the same mode with a lower refresh rate (50Hz 
maybe?), does that work? The other OS's could be cheating their refresh 
rate a bit. Also, do you have the manual for your monitor? That may have 
details on the precise numbers. You could verify that the vertical 
refresh and horizontal rates are correctly detected, or specify them 
manually in xorg.conf.

Thanks,
Donnie
