Yes, well, I should have thought my assumption through a bit. The old
monitor had a mode that supports the Mandrake configuration but the new
monitor does not.

Since you have one box that works and one that does not, you can directly
compart the X configuration files to find hints about what is different
and the configuration entries that need to be changed. Compare
/etc/X11/XF86Config between the two computers, paying attention to the
"monitor" sections.
