Xorg errors related to out of range

[Jim Cornette]

I recently attempted to upgrade to FC6T3 on a Dell Computer with an 
active Matrox video card as primary and with a secondary Nvidia video 
card. The Graphical install failed due to the monitor being severely out 
of range.
I then installed FC6T3 via the script due to some multimedia packages 
which I'd rather keep intact.
The problem is with the installed version of X in rawhide now. This 
version puts the monitor out of range when switching from the top 
resolution to any of the lower resolutions.
I first noticed the out of range with the monitor problem when I 
launched the game viruskiller. This game would put the monitor out of 
range with the FC5 version of xorg.conf which was generated by 
system-config-display. I then ran system-config-display --reconfig to 
try to get a brand new configuration that might work better for the 
changes in X. s-c-display failed to recognize my monitor type which it 
recognized when ran in FC5. So I decided to run X -configure which 
recognized both video cards, detected the correct monitor, but still has 
the out of range errors. The out of reange errors are on the high side 
and the values are different with each failure. They mostly range in the 
high 90s to low 100s for both the vertical and horizontal failures.

Also, s-c-display only makes the screen resolution top out at 800x600 
with 256 colors. The xorg.conf from running X -configure works at 
1152x864 and allows lower resolution choices, though they cause the OOR 
error.

Bug report filed:

What changes to X causes this behavior? Are the changes being reverted 
or are the effects being remidied by forward changes?

Just joining in the Fun,
Jim
