You can change the monitor type from Gnome and select generic monitor with range 60 HZ.Good Luck...

This should guide you through.

THIS IS FROM THE URL BELOW:
************************************************************
Tip
To change your X configuration after you have completed the installation, use the X Configuration Tool.

Type the redhat-config-xfree86 command in a shell prompt to launch the X Configuration Tool. If you are not root, it will prompt you for the root password to continue.

In the console mode on mandrake 9.1, you can type

drakconf

to enter the configuration panel. On that screen, you select

Display Configuration

then Tab to OK

on the following screen there are settings for graphics card, Monitor and resolution.

You should be able to select Monitor, then Tab to the DO button, select generic->AAAxBBB @60Hz.
