*blink* That seems odd, given the ranges specified below, but anyway:
[...]

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "A31p LCD Panel"
HorizSync 30-75
VertRefresh 50-85
Option "DPMS"

If you got a manual with it, it's probably in that.

It's *really* unlikely that you will do anything like that, especially
with modern monitors or LCD panels. They generally deal well with out of
range signals.
If you are worried, though, start up Debian in single user mode, run
sync, then start X.
If things go wrong, kill the power immediately. Having the battery out
helps with this. ;)
You may need to fsck on restart but your hardware should be fine.
YWWV, of course, and no warranty is available, but it's never hurt me
with modern hardware.
