The laptop is not getting the right info from the monitor (this is done with an app called edid)
Find out the specs for the monitor - vertical refresh and horizontal frequency
Some editing needed

Code: Select all

gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Find
Section "Device" and add something like
HorizSync ?.0 - ?.0
VertRefresh ?.0 - ?.0
towards the end and where you replace the question marks with the data you found for the monitor
It might help to add
Driver "intel"
in the same section
