I tried 'sax2 -l' and got sax2 running properly, so far so good!
I tried setting 640x480 at 60 Hz, but still got the out of range message.
Maybe a bit low for a modern monitor. Common ones to start with are:

Subject: Re: [Scottish] SuSe 10 Installation
Rob,
This is the Linux version of Plug and Pray Hell
I recently gave up with SuSe 9.3 and tried to install 10 as a completely new
installation.
The first three attempts failed, the machine just 'hung' (at different stages)
...
Then I discovered a memory fault (it's an old machine), and removal of the
faulty memory allowed full installation

If you log in as root you should be able to run sax2 to set up the
graphics. It's probably just setting the refresh rate to high for your
monitor.
OK, I tried that ... and failed!
I logged in as root, then typed SAX2 and got the blank screen, managed to read
the brief
Hi Rob,
Have you tried running xf86config?
Type in :
xf86config
at the command prompt. Follow the instructions for altering various
settings such as mouse, keyboard, etc and when you get to the part to
set the monitor vsync and hsync, type in your settings. This should cure
your problem.
Rob,
This is the Linux version of Plug and Pray Hell. Your monitor has claimed
that it can display whatever your graphics adaptor will throw at it when it
can't. The Input signal out of range. message is coming from the monitor.
Mostly I see this from (older) fixed resolution LCD monitors.
