The issue is with your refresh rates on one of the
monitors is out
of range. So what you need to do is go online, search for the
maximum
resolution for your monitors, and match it with the maximum
supported
resolution for your card along with the individual monitor's
maximum
resolution.

Thanks for the reply.
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
Pat,
That's not the actual refresh range for the monitor, it's
just the
currently used range.
What you want to do is search for "{maker} {model} horizontal
refresh" in google; the pages which come up are the ones you want to
refer to for your xorg.conf configuration.

What you want to do is search for "{maker} {model} horizontal
refresh" in google; the pages which come up are the ones you want to
refer to for your xorg.conf configuration.
If the maker was tremendously foresighted, the information you need
may appear in the small print on the back or bottom of the monitor
itself.
If not, you may find it handy to inscribe the H and V rate ranges
there with a Sharpie marker once you find it. I've been through this
particular annoyance a couple of times now, that's now my standard
practice upon taking a new monitor out of the shipping carton.
Finding the information on the web (or even in the product manual)
is not always easy, and the xorg automated config tools can't always
guess right.

I really don't understand what could be causing a problem, but for what it's worth, the display now connected to the D-SUB has always been more finicky than my other display. They're a ViewSonic vp201 (D-SUB) and Dell 2001fp (DVI).
