Did you follow the instructions about creating a clean xorg.conf described
here
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2
Or maybe you have a hardware problem. Did you give the monitor connector a
good inspection?
Or you could drop the xrandr method and drop back to manually configuring
xorg.conf
