    That worked.

    The above command gives me the same 'Out of Range' message from the
    monitor. I did some poking an determined that the program was writing
    the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. In this file I found my monitor and it
    said the resolutions was 380 x 300. I changed this to 1280x300. That
    did not help but I also tried adding 1280x1024 as the first resolution
    for the screen (It was "800x600" "640x480").

    Now when I run
            system-config-display
    without options, it does initailize the display. It looks like it is
    asking me to choose a resolution and color depth. I can't be certain
    because the text font is extremely small (3 or 4 pixels high).

    I can also reboot and get to a login prompt. The fonts here are also
    extremely small. However if I click on some of the buttons at the
    bottom of the screen a window popups in normal size.

    I have not created a user account yet so I did not try to log in.
    Because of the display problems the 'first boot' stuff did not run
    normally. Is there a way I can rerun this?

There's no point in acting all surprised about it. All the planning
charts and demolition orders have been on display in your local
planning department on Alpha Centauri for fifty of your Earth years,
so you've had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it's
far too late to start making a fuss about it now.
