Monitor quits under Linux

[Lief Hendrickson]

One of my computers is an old PC with dual boot Windows and Fedora 
2.6 (old machine.. haven't used it enough to update).  I attached a 
new monitor Samsung 21.6" in analog mode.  It works fine with Windows 
running at 1024X768.  When I booted into Fedora (also set at 
1024x768), the monitor worked at first.  Then a message window from 
the monitor popped-up.  It said "Not optimum mode, Recommended mode 
1920x1200".  This happened after I had time to log in.  I pushed the 
auto button on the monitor (for lack of knowing what else to do... it 
adjusts the image placement on the screen) and the monitor-generated 
pop-up window went away temporarily... but it soon come back.  A 
short while later the screen went blank.  I kept the computer 
running, disconnected the monitor, and connected an old CRT 
monitor.  The Linux screen  was still there and everything worked 
fine with the CRT monitor.  I shut down, reconnected the new monitor, 
and repeated the process with the same results.  Any ideas why I 
can't use the new monitor with Linux?  Why would the monitor work 
during Linux boot and for a short after login, but then quit?  As 
mentioned, it works fine under Windows indicating the monitor is in 
good condition.
