Err, you are doing this with X started, yes?

Could be. It would probably be enough to put the H-Sync and V-Sync 
ranges for your monitor in xorg.conf.  Haven't done this in a while so I 
can't give you exact details, but google should have plenty of examples.

Note: you will probably find a lot of examples with complicated 
modelines. Ignore those for now, put only the V-Sync and H-Sync and see 
if you get any further.
