    Hi.

    We are in the process of moving from RedHat 9 to Fedora Core 2.

    When doing "Xorg -confirm", we get the following stanza:

    Section "Monitor"
            #DisplaySize 320 240 # mm
            Identifier "Monitor0"
            VendorName "DEL"
            ModelName "DELL P793"
            HorizSync 1129329536.0 - 0.0
            HorizSync 30.0 - 96.0
            VertRefresh 842024000.0 - 0.0
            Option "DPMS"
    EndSection

    (Yes, we are using a DELL P793 monitor.)

    Not too surprisingly, X windows complained about the HorizSync and
    VertRefresh lines. I removed the first HorizSync line, and replaced
    the VertRefresh line with
            VertRefresh 50 - 160
    (These values were from the old XF86Config-4 file.)

    X windows now starts up fine, and works fine. However, when one logs
    out from the X windows session, a box starts wandering around the
    screen, said box containing a msg complaining that the refresh rate
    was wrong. CTRL-ALT-F2 (etc.) did not switch me to a virtual console.
    CTRL-ALT-DEL did not reboot the machine. The only "fix" was to do a
    hard reboot.

    So, does anybody have the proper values for the vertical refresh rate?
    Should this be reported as a bug, and (if so), to whom?

    Thanks.
