Hmmm, OK, when you get the "Display Settings" window there is a tab at 
the top for "Advanced Settings" right?

And when you select that tab there is a section for "monitor" with a
button that says "Configure..." to the left of it?

If you click on the "Configure..." button can you
select your monitor model?  Or if your monitor model
is not defined select "Generic CRT Display-->Monitor 1024x768"
or "Generic LCD Display --> LCD Panel 1024x768"
as appropriate?

It sounds like "ddcprobe" is not working with your display type.
(this means that the Xwindows driver is not able to automatically
detect the display's resolution and refresh capabilities).
