I've gone through my XF86Config and adjusted my syncs to match my
monitor(before we guestimated setting it up).  I tried it with the range
up to 120 but got flicker so turned it down... also oops found how I can
make the screen go very tiny.(so now commented out modes I'm not using
as I added in some not listed)  Here's the error I'm getting and below
that I'll paste my applicable bits of config.  I'm wondering how to get
out of this error and if there's any other additions/changes I should
make.  I'm using just one monitor.  It's an Acer G772(apprently
repackaged viewsonic of same model)  The specs for it are:

I perfer my monitor to be at 1024x768 and at that res can have a max of
85 for V refresh.  So any ideas on how to clear up thease errors?  I'm
using an ABit KG7 motherboard as well.  I tried looking up online things
on voodoo and xfree and I can't see anything specifically wrong with my
configs.  The bios does have the agp turned on and windows2k works fine
with it.  I am obviously still able to use X despite the errors but as
you can see somethings aren't loading(or aren't loading right).  Any
help would be much appreciated.
