Had a chronic problem with an Inter 915 series MB with Intel integrated graphics. KDE 3.x would only allow 85Hz vert. sync. at the 1024x768 resolution. This is out of range for most LCD monitors. The solution for me was quite simple.
a) Use Adept or Synaptic to verify that the xserver-xorg-video-intel package is loaded in your machine.
b) Go to /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-intel and follow the directions regarding the Section "Device" documentation at the bottom of the document.
My xorg-conf file was missing the (Driver "intel") statement. After manually editing the file and adding the statement as directed, everything works as it should. It's only taken 3-days to run down the missing line and add it. Hopefully this will save someone else a lot of time.
My xorg.conf file for the entire machine now has only 29 lines not counting the comment section. Can post if anyone is interested.
