Hi,
You can run Mandrake's gui tool XFdrake which sets up all the various XFree86 config stuff (i.e. 'XFdrake &' as root from a console / xterm window).
Otherwise, its down to editing the XF86Config or XF86Config-4 file. There will be a section in there like :
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "NECXV17"
HorizSync 31-65
VertRefresh 55-100
EndSection
You should make sure that the 'VertRefresh' range is valid for your monitor. There will also be a 'Screen' section that points to the monitor.
Hope this helps
