Unfortunately, if the correct driver is loaded, there is not much more I have the expertise to help on. Sorry … But I do note some strange things.
OK, then try this from now on in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
#Driver "radeon"
**Driver "mga1064sg"**
## Required magic for radeon/radeonhd drivers; output name
## (here: "DVI-0") can be figured out via 'xrandr -q'
#Option "monitor-DVI-0" "Default Monitor"
EndSection
ok but, there is something strange in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log you posted. I noted this:

I’m puzzled why it would see a nVidia 256.35 driver !! Maybe there is something you should be telling me here with respect to you trying something ?? Linux is NOT like Windows. One should NOT install a driver that they do not need. Did you install the nVidia proprietary graphic driver ?? Because I can’t figure that line out if you did not.
If you did install the nVidia proprietary driver and if you do not have nVidia graphic hardware on this PC, then you should remove that driver.
EXCEPT maybe something else has messed things up ? ie what is this nVidia information in your logs?
ok thanks. I also note this:

It seems to have detected your monitor as a PTS make ? Model 1017, product ID 4119? Is that correct ?
That puzzled me, as a surf on the web suggested to me the PTS is Polymer Technology Systems Inc., a small Indianapolis-based maker of handheld blood monitors. Is that what this is ?
Anyway, if the monitor is detected wrong, we will need to get someone else to help on this as I don’t know anything about this, other than some threads I’ve read. Dependant on your answer (is this or is this not your monitor) I may be able to point you to the relevant thread. (the search function on our forum is HORRIBLY buggy, unfortunately).
