Hi Lisi,
I have a ProLite E435 and my Ubuntu Feisty xorg.conf sets the HorizSync
and VertRefresh explicitly.
The manual for the Iiyama ProLite E431S (bit of guesswork on my part
there - so it's probably a good idea to ignore this if I have guessed
incorrectly) gives the following numbers:
Sync Frequency Horizontal: 24.0-80.0kHz, Vertical: 55-75Hz
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
HorizSync 24.0 - 80.0
VertRefresh 55.0 - 75.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Worth a try perhaps? Like I say, ignore this if the monitor is not an
Iiyama ProLite E43[0|1].
