This LCD panel looks like a beefed-up LG1970HR (19" LG Flatron Slim).
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "LG"
ModelName "L1970HR"

As you can see, I just let Xorg and the Nvidia proprietory driver
negotiate Hz sync & Vert refresh rates. Or, I can specify them if I
want to -- you can see above, they're commented-out at the present time.
This is a trivial setting and I think the driver you are using should
figure this out by simple probing.
Noting Mandrake/Mandriva, I would highly recommend you add PLF to your
package mirrors drakconf downloads packages from. PLF website will
instruct you on how to add it's package mirrors. With PLF, you'll be
able to watch DVD movies and utilize other non-GNU packages.
IMO, Mandrake still is probably one of the better Disto's for an
everyday user as they provide the PLF website repository of packages for
easy retrieval. I've recently tried Ubunto and OpenSuse. Ubunto, great
for newbies who don't know jack-cr*p. Opensuse, like Ubunto, but still
had problems playing online sound & video files and other things such as
Macromedia/Adobe Flash. :-/
Mandrake/Mandriva, things work right out of the box almost usually.
My preference is Gentoo.
