Xorg -configure problems

[Art Werschulz]

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.
