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

Sounds like a nvidia card
If it is gksu nvidia-settings should help you
If it is not please post your lspci (l is a lower case L)
