It sounds like it might be a fixed freq. monitor. You either need to get a video card that has its bios re-written to only use the approved frequency combinations or use a particular resolution all the time. Because you are using linux, you can do this *somewhat* easily. I say somewhat because I really had to play around with mine to get 'em to use some old sun workstation monitors that were given to me. Here's a couple of web-sites below. Also, it looks like you have a sync-on-green monitor so you'll have to either make your own sync circuit or get a video card chipset that supports it. I think some of the older matrox cards will do this. I've got mine working on some old s3 virge cards.
