There is one more meathod to fix this issue is a bit complex for bigginers.. You have to edit a file using vim or any others editors[ i use vim]
#vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
You would have to add and modify the current file given below[ i configured like this.

Note some of the main things you have to customize for urself.........
Under
1)
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30-54
VertRefresh 50-120
here the horsync and Vertrefresh value given is for an LG 15' CRt monitor, I got an "out of freqency error" problem when i was trying fix this for the fist time... i just noted out the values and edited this xorg.conf file from terminal and i have restarted the gdm service agin to get into the graphical mode...... I hope You wont face that issues... So what i am trying to tell is " you have to give the Hori and Vert values of the monitor that you guys using....
2)
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Radeon X1200"[ this is my model number U have to change it according to your model
" you can get it by in terminal type lspci in he result you will get the type of chipset and also you have to note the Busid[ you hav to use that in next step]
Ex: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200 Series] this is the output i got what i pointed in red is the busid and the chipset model............I think U r clear nw]
3)Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon X1200"
BusID "PCI:1:05:0"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
Driver "fglrx"
Identifier as i said before you have provide your chipset model, ex like "Radeon X1500" or "Radeon 9600" etc.... [ here the X provided in mine coz its an Xpress chipset]
BusID you can get it from the above way you have to provide it according to the result that you get from lspci
I appologize once again if i gave any boring explanation. I am not a good writer ofcourse in giving explanations...[:)]. You can pot your suggestions and troubles here.. I will go through it and i could help you fixing it.
Thnk U...
