The first suspect to me is the monitor, are you sure you chose the right
model?
If your monitor model is not listed you may try to manually enter the
parameters.
Most manuals give all the information that Xconfigurator needs.
If you have the right monitor then most probably its the video card, more
details
about your machine's hardware will be helpful.
