Had the same problem on my dad's new machine. He was running a new NVidia GeForce 5900 video card with a brand new ViewSonic A90f+ monitor. It happened with both Red Hat 9 and Severn1. Booting to runlevel 3 and then typing startx produced the same "out of range" results. The only way I was able to get things working was after I managed to download and install the NVidia drivers from their site. Driver "nv" still will not work properly, but the driver "nvidia" runs with no trouble at all with the exact same XF86Config file.
