You may have to add your Samsung 225BW parameters to /usr/share/sax/api/data/cdb/Monitors (edit as root). You'll need the DDC= information from your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the Hsync and Vsync values. There are plenty of examples in the Monitors file. Make sure you save a backup copy of that Monitor file or your edits because it will get wiped out after any sax/Xorg updates. This will allow you to choose this monitor during sax setup. Helps eliminate some confusion of where the problem is between the video driver and monitor settings. Then make sure you file a bugzilla with the parameters for your monitor so it gets into /usr/share/sax/api/data/cdb/Monitors.
