After bootup press "Strg+Alt+F1" to switch from X mode into console 1,
then type "init 3". This stops the X server.
Now edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and change the monitor data. You need to
set the proper values for HorizSync and VertRefresh. If you have no data
sheet please use google to find them out. After done the change run
"init 5" and you should see X back again with wonderful colors.
