Probably some issue with how the monitor's EDID information is being
reported. Dealing with that is something I haven't had to do really, I can't
help much. There should be some workarounds, but it likely requires
deep X modeline stuff.
If you want to skip the "trying to fix it" part and go straight to despair,
read Matthew Garrett's (mjg59) blog entries about it.
