HorizSync and VertRefresh values taken from http://tuxmobil.org/XF86Config_4_sp4600.html seem to work just fine. So, to work around this problem on Hardy do the following... First check if you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If you don't, do a

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

This will create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf. You will be asked some questions about framebuffer and keyboard layout. Next open the xorg.conf:

nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Add HorizSync and VertRefresh settings to the end of the "Monitor" section:

Section "Monitor"
   Identifier "Configured Monitor"
   HorizSync 31-60
   VertRefresh 50-75
EndSection

If that's not enough, edit the "Screen" section also:

Section "Screen"
  Identifier "Default Screen"
  Monitor "Configured Monitor"
  Device "Configured Video Driver"
  Subsection "Display"
     Modes "1024x768"
  EndSubsection
EndSection

That should do it. Just restart gdm with /etc/init.d/gdm and you're done.
