There's a thing called EDID that X uses to query the monitor about what
sync ranges it supports. By default, X runs an EDID query when it
starts. There is an option you can add to your X config file like so:
Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"
...in the Device section. That might help.

Um, if it's a firewall/gateway, why does it need to run X?

If you want to do that, you'll have to run X then. You might also want
to Google or check freshmeat.net for nv-tv-out , which might be useful
to you.

"CRT" in this context means "anything connected to the VGA connector".
If you want to use the TV-out port, you'll probably want to say
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "DFP,CRT"

This is Usenet, not a web-board using BBCode. There's no need to put a
[URL] around URLs. This looks fine, try uncommenting the IgnoreEdid
line in your config file and restarting X. Also try saying that the
connected monitor is a TV and that X should ignore CRT and DFP devices.
