Yes. The blank signal after the horizontal sync may be to short for
your monitor.
You have to edit the file /etc/X11/XF86Config.
Increase the fifth number of the modeline by about 32.
(You can experiment which value yields the best result.)
An example:
Assume the modeline in question looks like this:
Modeline "800x600" 70 800 876 1020 1164 600 600 618 625 +hsync +vsync
then increase this number ------------------>^^^^
Alternatively it may be sufficient to shift the image to the right by using
the control elements of your monitor.
Hope this helps,
Chris
