Yes. The blank signal after the horizontal sync may be to short for
your monitor. 
You have to edit the file /etc/X11/XF86Config.
Increase the fifth number of the modeline by about 32. 
(You can experiment which value yields the best result.)
An example:
Assume the modeline in question looks like this:
Modeline "800x600"     70     800  876  1020 1164   600  600  618  625 +hsync 
+vsync
then increase this number ------------------>^^^^

Alternatively it may be sufficient to shift the image to the right by using
the control elements of your monitor.

Hope this helps,
Chris
