What steps did you take to set it up on the CentOS system?

Does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf look correct?

If you ran system-config-display it should have inserted information
from the DDC from the monitor. Also, a kudzu whould have contributed
some information.

On the other system, can you get the timings and compare to the CentOS
system?

Did you google yet? Lots of times answers are found there.
