Greetings Suraj:

You don't specify what xfree version you are running, so I will assume you 
have Woody's x4.1.  During the setup (using debconfig) it clearly asks 
whether your monitor is LCD or not.  This *could* be part of your problem.  I 
would suggest taking another look at it with: (as root)
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

That will start a the configuration program to help you get it all 
working, plus it will automatically modify your XF86Config-4 file.  You can 
run it again and again until you find the right combination to make x work as 
you want it too.

hth, good luck
