I had a similar problem with an NVidia card and Ubuntu 9.10, IIRC I ended up deleting the xorg.conf file and booting into X and then trying to hack together an xorg.conf I found on the internet.
Unfortunately all I can find at the moment is configuration files for 
dual monitors :-(
It could be worth searching for the model of monitor, you may be able to 
get specific mode lines for the xorg.conf file.
