May be the  solution is in /var/log/XFree86.0.log. Read it and double
check that the mode that was choosen by the X server is within the
range you specified, and that it matches one of the supported modes
listed  on the sunsolve page. 
It may help to specify an explicit mode in the Screen section of
XF86Config to avoid automatic selection of modes with too high
frequencies.
