Re: Monitor Out of Range Error with xf86
so i found
http://support.gateway.com/support/manlib/cmponts/Monitors/8506484/06484.htm
which seems sorta craptastic, as i'm not sure if there are several
different rebranded monitors in this series.
try making sure in your XF86Config-4's Monitor Section you have
VertRefresh 50-160
HorizSync 30-60
also man XF86Config-4 and consider specifying DefaultDepth and Modes for
that depth in the screen->display subsection
