So it was, at one point, displaying an image, and then it suddenly shut 
off?  That doesn't sound like a bad signal.  Bad sync rates won't stress 
a monitor and then make it shut off, they'll never display properly.  At 
least, I've never heard otherwise.

You said that the monitor works under FC6 if you "fool" X into thinking 
there's a monitor there?  How do you do that?  When you do, can you go 
into the monitor's menu and see what the refresh rates are?  Are they 
within the monitors specs?
