You probably have to modify your XF86Config file but I dont know what you would modify in it. Maybe go through it and find a line that has LCD in it or something, try a google for LCD displays and Linux.
I am also having a problem with my LCD screen, but mine is that I cannot change the resolution and it is stuck on 640x480. If you managed to fix your problem please post a message, maybe it will work on my monitor as well...
# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"

Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "no"

I just tried my neighbours CRT monitor it was working fine. Seems like the problems is with my LCD monitor and linux. Anybody heard of similar problems? Maybe it is because I use it in analog mode? It seems like linux does not find my LCD monitor...
Everything in the settings is when I choose a generic LCD panel with the given resolution. The horSync and VertRefresh rates I got from Eizo. com. The setting is for analog mode for the L550.
When I type
Xfree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config-4.new
in the command line it does not recognize the command.
When I press the INFO-button in the screen it says something like "input 640x480" and this do not change, No matter what I change in the XF86Config-4 file.
I have Linux Mandrake 10.0
Sorry for using someone elses thread for my question but maybe we could help each other, it may be the same problem.
