    Hi, Tom.

    In RH9.0, redhat-config-xfree86 configures hardware aspects of X.

    Anytime I received an "out of range" error it's been that X is
    attempting to overdrive the monitor. I've never had to touch
    /etc/sysconfig/hwconf, but I have had to use r-c-x to throttle the
    refresh rates back a bit.

    HIH!
