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
