Xorg -configure problems

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.
