I checked out what refresh rates they're using in Windows, and both monitors are set to 60. The finicky monitor apparently can run at 60, 70, or 72. I set the VertRefresh to 60, start up Xorg, and now I'm not getting the error, but it's really flickery. Really, it's more like a bunch of lines are scrolling down very quickly, it's not flicker, so something definitely isn't right. If I set the VertRefresh to a range, like 60-72, I still get that Out of Range error. I haven't been able to find out exactly what refresh rates to use, because these are LCDs and the refresh rates given in ms, not Hertz. Not really sure what that means. Thanks for the reply, seems like I'm getting closer...I'd appreciate any more help you can give me. Pat
