Your /etc/X11/XF86Config file probably has the right stuff in it, but
not using it. Make a backup copy of your current file, then edit it and
remove all the mode lines that don't match what you want. Also remove
the screen section that has the VGA driver (usually the first one) and
says it does double scan. See if that helps.
There are programs on http://www.freshmeat.net (I think it's net) to
make mode lines etc, but they run in X, so... There is also a HOW-TO to
make your own, but it hurt me, X and my video card, so I figure it's not
something I should do or help anyone to do.
